2 washers???? as long as the nut on the other end had plenty of thread that would be ok?
I dont think that the swing arm is dented from looking at the picture and if it is I wonder if a good thick stainless steel washer would be less likely to bend

That swing arm looks dished to me !
So now I dont get how it can get dished when there is a solid adjuster behind it, there has to be a little gap so to insert the adjuster but surly not so much that you can crush the swing arm.Could you hammer in the adjuster with a shim piece of metal between the adjuster and inside swing arm and then tighten with a new washer and flatten out the swing arm dish, take all out and add a bigger shim to prevent new dishing, would need a sacrificial adjuster as it would get a knackered thread from hammering
The first way
SWEET, thank you :-) It was correct in first place but glad I checked.
