Good day,
could someone please confirm the order of the bearing/washer assembly for the new DFC head? I have all the components, but does the brass washer still go between the grips and the head? Is is:
3 piece trust bearing assembly,
thin spindle bearing
then the bearings which came already installed in the DFC upgrade kit, then the brass washer between the grip and the head?

The instructions only show a diagram with thrust bearing, wpindle bearing spacer, bearing (which is already installed in the grips, then another spindle bearing (which I assume is in the grip alread?, then another bearing at the other end of the grip (which also came already installed in the DFC grips). I am soo confused.
It seems odd that you would be able to see the brass between the two components, especially where the bearing in the grip seems to fit up nicely to the damper in the head.

Thanks in advance.

The brass washer is to apply pressure on the dampeners if I remember correctly. Here is the diagram from KDE.

As well as maintain a barrier for the bearing in the grip. If it wasnt there the dampener would contact the inner and outter race binding its movement.

Thanks all. I put the brass spacers between the grips and head. Everything fits as advertised. I had called up some photo's of DFC heads and could see the rings in the photos but they are visible on my head so I wasn't sure.
