Unless there is a good reason, I think Concentric stainless washers would look much nicer. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 580 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 580 | If you are refering to the six recessed washers in the bed wood, the reason is that carriage bolts go thru them and the offset washers restrain the bolt heads from turning while the hex nuts are being tightened from the bottom. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | perhaps the answer is to find bolts that have a hex indention in them, sort of like a clutch head and then you could hold it while you tighten it and wouldn't have to go looking for those eccentric washers...buy regular ones at the local hardware and save shipping! Just a thought. | | |
