Default Rudder Pedal Washers, Pg 33-04

I am installing the rudder pedals, and I read the note about perhaps needing a different washer configuration. As it is I can on one side of each pedal put two of the called out washers, and on the other side just one.

Is it important to have two washers between the pedal and the steel frame for some reason? Or is just one washer fine.......

If one is fine I'm good. If two is needed for some rotational bearing issue then I'll get some thinner ones and put one thick and one thin on each side.

No.
That is why it has the note that different configurations may be needed.
The important thing is to shim for minimal play but still have free movement with minimal friction.
