Yes, reuse those. There should also have been a spring on top of the 
washer. Is yours gone? I've made up replacements if you need one, but 
they often got removed if the plastic plug got removed too many times 
and got loose enough that the spring kept popping it off.

I can sell you a good used breather stand for $25, including 
shipping. Too bad you didn't know about this before, because it could 
have shipped for free with the earlier stuff. It's a bit of work to 
replace: I think you have to pull the fan off to remove the 2 small 
screws that mount the fan housing to it. If you don't have to pull 
the fan, you at least have to remove the pulley and the rear half of 
the fan housing.
