When I dismantled the backplates off the rear radius arm, I pretty sure that the two front bolts had plain washer between the backplate and the radius arm. This means that there was a gap between the back plate and radius arm at the leading edge. This was both sides and I'm pretty sure this is origianl.
Bolt>backplate>washer>radius arm>lock washer>nut.
The rear bolt had no washer (just the lock washer).
Is this right? Or should the backplates be against the radius arm mounting?

Sounds wrong to me.
There should be washers (or a distance piece) between the backplate and the handbrake cable retaining plate for the front bolt though

Just back from the workbench to say I had a brainfart!
Forgot the handbrake brackets and it all became clear! Thanks anyway
