It s been a couple of years but i would say the hanger should function as the washer instead of the original.

Very interesting! The bike is from the 90s and has the hanger and washer, but I just read an article from Rene Herse, and it does sound like the hanger replaces the washer.

Time to wrench! ๐Ÿ˜‚
