RD - R5 clutch question

[soonerbillz]

Going through the write up on Chuck's section on the 6 speed swap.
 There this:

"Whether you have the 3 bolt retainer models or not... you start with the late model thrust washers @3.00mm thick and 43.80mm O.D. and use 2 of the same."

So I'm reading this and thinking he's telling us to us 2 of the thrust washers indicated on the shaft before installing the clutch.  Am I getting this right?

THE EARLIER MODELS (R5, etc) HAVE A STEPPED WASHER. In my experience when playing with all of this, the simplest way is to space the clutch basket out w the washers until the clutch basket gear is flush with the primary gear, and you're fine. hope that makes sense

Yes it does. I assumed that was the reason he said to use 2 washers. Just making sure.
Thanks.

Yes space with the non stepped washer for the later model upgrade clutch. I just kept the OG setup for the R5 (early inner hub and pressure plate) and added the final steel against the pressure plate. Works fine now. If you are going for more power the 1974 up clutch from an RD350 is the way to go.
