Subject: Re: Seapro wings question
John,

Just disassembled my brand new Seapro wings.  The thinner of the two washers is 
between the shell and the screw-on fitting, that is, it is the first thing on
the 
outside of the cordura shell.  Next is the screw-on fitting.  Then, the thicker 
rubber washer, and the inflator.  The thicker washer goes between the fitting 
that screws onto the bladder (on the outside of the shell) and the inflator.

Hope this helps.
