Hi to grumpy and Dunks, there is no washer between the thrust pad and clutch cone. The fact that this plastic pad melted is due to incorrect adjustment of the clutch fork assembly.
There is supposed to be a slight clearance between the pad and the cone....the only time the pad fully contacts the cone is when the clutch is being disengaged. wink

I have to go out now, but when I get back I will take a pic of mine and explain how to set it up properly. The pad is available in the online store.
