Thanks,

Additionally, I believe the theory behind the offset hole in the bed mounting washers is to keep it from spinning when tightening the nut from below. The bolt has a carriage head with a square shoulder, however the bolt and washer will spin when tightened, if not for the offset hole and the mortise of the washer to set flush with the surface of the bed wood. Best of luck with your wood replacement. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 | | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 150 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 150 | Now that is what I was looking for.
A few days too late, but what I did will work.
I'll post when I get it done.

It worked well. Gave us a little father/son time.
