Not being mean but its difficult to understand what your saying when all your sentences run together.
Go to partszilla and look at the exploded veiw of your caliper,that should help.

So what are you wanting to know exactly?Something about spacers are talking about between the piece that bolts up on the bike that connects onto the piston assembly?Theres a flat washer thats about 1/6 inch thick on the topside that the long bolt goes through.I had to use an additional washer on my mine it wasnt very big though.On the attachmemt are you talking about part #`s 10 and 11?

# 11 is a thin flat washer,also dont over tighten the bolt.Just nice and snug is all you need.
Gosh I need a translator anyone else know what he meansYou have a local hardware store where you live?Go take a look around and see if you can find something that will match.
13 is thick washer about 1/8th inch.The other is a small flat washer thans thin maybe 16th of an inch.Give me sometime I`ll get my dial caliper and try to get some exact measurements.Unless somebody else has one taken apart then fill free to chime in here.

#11 is actually an oring that seals the caliper pin from the elements. it is sandwiched below the thick washer against the caliper body. I have my caliper all taken apart and sandblasted. I have the measurements you need, just bear with me.

I wasnt being mean
but if you dont have the grammar skills when you write or ask a question that nobody can understand how is somebody supposed to help you?Its difficult to understand when your sentences all run together.Granite my spelling isnt always perfect but at least its understandable

I can get you an exact measurement for the oring as well because i have a NOS of that oring as well.

There are 2 steel washers. #10 is the larger of the 2 washers. All measurements are listed OD/ID/THK mm
#10 is 27.9/8.3/4.5
#13 is 19.98/9.09/3.22
There is definitely a size difference. If the washer is slightly larger than a quarter, then you have the #10, but I am guessing you have #13 because someone probably took apart your caliper at some point and #10 fell out of the assembly, because it is not captured by the caliper pin bolt. hope this helps.

It looks like the ID of the Oring is 13.7mm (.546") and the cross section is 3.42mm (.135"). You have to allow for the shrinkage that happened after cooling down from the molding process. So if you can find an oring with a 14mm ID and a 3.5 CS then it should work fine. Parker Orings #207 is about the closest I can find to the correct size. It shows a 13.86mm ID x 3.42mm CS. Hope this helps.
ID= inside diameter
CS=cross section

Can somebody point out where #9 is from the diagram on their bike's assembly?
There is a grove in the back of the caliper that it fits in.The tab or tang on the front of the brake pads is held in place by this piece.
