Im putting on the disc brakes on the Moser rear end and I now see that I need some sort of spacer or washer to make the brakes line up on the rotor. I know this has been posted before, but what size washer would I use to make it line up right??? I cant believe I am starting!

Been there - done that (very recently - see my posts in the "Talk to an FFR Tech guy" area of this Forum..
There are (are supposed to be) some spacers supplied by FFR. There were four (4) spacers with my rear end. OD is 7/8's inch, ID is 1/2' inch and thickness is about 1/8" inch (??). I spoke to Brian at FRR and he's sending me a few more ... guess my spacing was off more than most.
Also - Home Depot (yep - Home Depot) has some shims in the "nuts and bolts" area that are the same basic dimension but are only about 1/32 thick that can be used to "fine-tune" the disc-caliper spacing.

Glad you're getting started.

Good luck with your build.

Welcome home, and get to building..... of course after you decompress........
To answer your question, just go to ACE hardware, and buy lots of washers, you will need them........
put in just enough to perfectly align our calipers....... and away you go.......

Good luck.....
