Hey everyone,

I'm replacing the headset on a vintage Raleigh Gran Sport and ordered a Tange Seiki Levin CDS. I've only done one other threaded headset in the past and this Levin Headset has two extra rubberized washers that weren't in the headset I did before. They're not shown on the instruction sheet either. So I just want to make sure I'm putting them in the right place and in the correct orientation. From what I can tell these washers should sit on the crown cone and the upper cone, but does the rubberized side of the washer face the bearing as shown in the attached pics or does it face the cone? They appear to fit very loosely, so I'm not sure what purpose they serve either.

Thanks.
