I removed my rear wheel without taking note of the order the washers/spacers etc came off in.
I have searched the web to see if I could find a descent picture or information of the left and right side assembly without any luck. I am now totally confused.
Is there anyone out there that can give me the correct order or post some clear pictures of the setup?

Hi Leroy, I have just sent you a copy of the T140 parts manual to your e-mail address, hope this helps.
I have a electronic copy of the workshop manual somewhere, I will send that over when I find it!
 
A workshop manual link is posted here on TT.

Basically though, there's no spacers or washers on the sprocket side. The only thing on that side is the speedometer gearbox (be sure the tang on it is inserted into it's corresponding notch). The right side is then spaced to center the wheel in the swingarm.

Thanks Steve and AJ.
The speedo drive on the 78 is on the right.
I have checked the manual, can you please confirm that I have it right.
