Thanks for the info ol'George.
I think it would have to be more of a shim washer with a 1" ID?
Another washer wouldn't make a difference since the one shown bolts right up to the end of the spindle shaft.
I'm also thinking there should a tiny amount of play otherwise when you tighten down the bolt, your would put too much pressure on the inner race.
I appreciate the input, I'm just a bit confused since I have 3 wheels that all fit a bit different and a drawing that shows 2 washers.
Since the one wheel with the most play seems to have questionable bearings, I may order a new pair and see how they fit.
Thanks again.
