How much difference does driving w/o a washer make, if any?

While doing a brake swap my bonehead decided to lose a washer(too lazy to take off the other side, probably the most time consuming part of the swap). Here the pics:

If anyone know the size, it'd help much.

I always just take the bolt to a local hardware store/Wal-Mart/Lowe's/Autozone/whatever and find a washer that fits.

Just measure the diameter of the bolt and take it to your local hardware store. Or take the one on the other side to a hardware store and get the same one.

Should be a lock washer. Find one to prevent it from working itself loose going down the road...
