Chris King BB - do I have all the parts for a GXP bottom bracket?

Paceliners, can someone double-check that I have all the parts required in Conversion Kit #9? I'm curious about the "stepped washer" in the left of the zip tip, that looks like a regular ol' washer. Should it have a distinct shape because it's called a "stepped washer"?

I've also attached a copy of the PDF that was provided by CK.

Thanks!

Appears that you do. The "stepped washer" should just have an id small enough to keep the stepped adapter sleeve from moving outboard. It doesn't have a "step" itself.

so they used to include a bunch of white nylon washers but its looks like the stepped washer (metal) top right.

Overall, I could never get the GXP kit to work well and ended up going with a native Kogel or Ceramic Speed bottom bracket.

The use of adapters to fit the bottom bracket to different bottom brackets was a huge turn-off for me. In the end, I suggested that my customers used a Wheels MFG. bottom bracket instead.
