Do the caliper to steering knuckle bolts have spring washers?

I still dont know whether to stick spring washers in the caliper attaching bolts, but while on the subject of brakes, when i put the first caliper together i left putting on the dust covers till last and cant get them in there slot, the hk-t-g manual i have here says to do it this way but maybe hr is different, on the second caliper i put the dust cover on first and squeezed the piston through the dust cover wich now looks fine.
do you hr brake guys out there put the dust cover in first or after the piston goes in and do i use spring washers on the caliper to steering knuckle bolts?

Leon,
On mine I have Torana rotors and calipers and I have spring washers on them. You do need them as it is a bolt and no nut so a spring washer is required.
Re dust covers "don't know"

Definately use the spring washers, I thought the dust cover was held in by the pins that hold the pads in place.

Hey ken, i mean the rubber dust covers around the piston (not the rubber sealing rings)., i never had the covers i think you are talking about wich cover in the hole you slot the pads in.

Aha! Yes you put the dust boot on the piston base with the boot pulled down like a skirt. You then place the lip on the boot in place in the body of the caliper, then slide the piston down through the boot into the caliper.
Use a good smear of rubber grease as it is difficult to do with just brake fluid and impossible dry.
