    The top out washers are split and go just under the big end of the aluminum tube called a damper or oil metering tube. Then insert the big end of the aluminum tube in the fork tube, The top out washer will be tight in the tube, slide in the steel pc with the big radius on the ID, called bottom valve, over the aluminum pc and into the tube and then retain it with the snap ring.

    In the 83 parts manual below:
    The metering tube is item #4
    The top out washer is item #5
    The radius ID pc, bottom valve, is item #11
    Snap ring item #12

    Heres a parts list for an 83 that shows the forks:https://www.halls-cycles.com/Catalog/PDF/Husqvarna .PDFs/1980-1989/83_all_models.pdf

    Heres a parts manual for an 86 model, similar, that shows the parts a little better: https://www.halls-cycles.com/Catalog/PDF/Husqvarna .PDFs/1980-1989/86_all-2st_models-2.pdf

    ln the first pic the screw is pointing to where your top out washer goes, with the fork dissasembled.

    second pic shows semi re assemble.

    let me know if you need anymore pics as the forks will be apart for a bit untill my top out washers arrive.:banghead:
