1962 Superhawk Restoration: Here I go

So I have a few pieces that need identification. (please click on any of the photos to view at a higher resolution)

Here's the first. This came so many months I honestly can't remember where it came from, except for me having the thought, "Oh, I'll remember this". Something tells me it was within the right crankcase, correct?

Here are two shots of the piece. You'll see there's some form of washer that lies within. One with it in, and one with it outside.

I was readjusting the engine on the lift and heard a slight *tink* noise to find this on on the ground just below the left side of the engine. Both crankcases were off. Is the the oil filter washer that goes on the outside?

Here's a shot of the left side of the engine exposed if you can spot anything. (click for full res - 1,752 x 1,166)

Hah. I meant more in the sense of, "I can't belive after all the work and time spent, that I'll actually be at the point which seemed so far away."

I just know I'm gonna run into some electrical issues. It's not really my forte, but I'm eager to learn.

looks like a gear shift seal from the right crankcase that is torn and missing the wire spring.

PIC#1 & PIC#2 is the seal at the inside of the clutch rod adjuster.
Never mind the lock washer.
PIC#3 may be the washer you don't have at the OIL FILTER shaft and also have a rod so long that ya won't be able to install the polished cover. Also the crank nut is installed with the wrong side out and I suspect the washer may not be able to hold the nut to the crank and I'm not sure which side of the compression washer is in or out.
Pic #3 actually may be the washer which installs at the top of the spring which pushes the chain tension part into the chain and stops the sharp edges of the tension part from cutting the spring over time.
If it is where is the washer which MUST be at this side of the oil filter?
I see ya have the OLD CLUTCH PARTS ALONG WITH THE OLD (USELESS) FRICTION DISC. .......lm

Thanks LM. I'll look into that first thing tomorrow morning.

Is there a particular contact the ignition coils need to be hooked up on? I realized this after I attached them on different contacts during reassembly. I couldn't really find any info in the shop manual or parts manual going over it.
