[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 300071, member: 7544"] IMO If the material that the bolt head or nut is resting on is soft then you should use a washer on that surface. If it's hard like 1/8" thick aluminum then you won't need a washer unless it's a lock washer to keep it from vibrating loose. So basically it depends on the material. Just remember that unless clearance is an issue, it never hurts to use a washer and it's better to be safe than sorry. [/QUOTE]
