I believe it is the rubber coated washer.

I took the time to look in the Harley Service Manual: You leave out BOTH the Rubber Covered Washer AND the Hat Shaped Residual Valve. These would be the first two items installed on a 1972 and earlier drum brake set up but you leave them out for disc brakes, OK? RooDog
