Is this part import...
 

[Closed] Is this part important (avid v-brake question)? And where can I get spares?

Seem to have lost the little metal 'covers' that go between the bearing and the mounting bolt (you can see 'em in this pic, the thing the bolt head is recessed into), is it the end of the world if I set the brakes up without them for now (whilst I try to find some spares)? Guessing they're there to protect the bearing from muck?

Also, any ideas where I can get spares for these brakes? Also need the little rubber nipple thing for the end of the noodle...

I've run avid Vs without the washer, then replaced it with one that was smaller and fatter. neither made any difference to the brakes. you don't need the rubber bit.
