There was a Spacer in my 904...?

Trying to get my V8 904 rebuilt here, first time. Thing have been going okay until I took apart the rear clutch. I have read everywhere that 904s don't have spacers.... But mine did! I can't remember if it came out before or after the Belleville spring.

So from the Belleville spring to the groove for the wavy spring, I had .094" of space.

Here is what it looks like. With the wavy spring installed, it has all that clearance still and I can move the Belleville spring up and down before it hits the wavy ring. Is this normal? Should I install the spacer? It was steel, and almost looks homemade, with a welded point here (installed without the wavy spring) :

It is the perfect spacer, makes it level with the wavy spring groove. But they don't need it...? Is that clearance okay? Thank you.

Here it is with wavy ring installed, no spacer
