I have assembled mine in this order and it works fine. Most important is that the Belleville washer goes immediately before the nut. Depending on the alignment of the arm to the flat on the fixed post (which is determined by the position of the windshield in its top hinge), you may need additional flat washers stacked to the outside of the swing arm to enable the swing arm to travel freely. I've also found that the rubber washers vary in thickness, with some so thin that they don't protrude outside of their cups. So you may need to stack another flat washer inside of the cup to get the rubber to protrude.
