Dave The bar end "pod", the part that goes into the handlebar, has a square shaped protuberence on it. The first piece you put on is a chrome base piece. It looks like this:
See how the external shape of that washer piece is round? See how there's a raised inner part that is round, but it has a bump, a keyway part off that raised part. See it? When you put that chrome washer piece onto the square protuberance on the barcon pod, that bump, that key part is pointing DOWN. It's not totally straight down, because that square thing will have a bit of an angle to it, but it is absolutely the MOST DOWN of the four possible choices. When the washer is in that position, the shifter will fit onto the washer in only one position. From there, you should find all your clicks. You will conclude that you previously had that washer rotated 90 degrees and you lost 90 degrees of your clicks.
