Yes, a decent photo is worth a thousand words. I can never remember 
which hole the rod goes in. When I'm assembling these I like to make 
it washer/flap/washer/circlip. I know I've found suitable washers and 
circlips at my local hardware store.

Don't forget the spring that then goes in the lower hole. That's a 
VERY important part of the assembly.
