[quote=DanEC;1379499]I don't use split washers without a flat washer under them to protect the component surface. QUOTE]

That doesn't work. The whole point of a locking washer is to lock the face of the fastener to the material underneath. You're locking the face of the fastener to the flat washer, and nothing is locking it to the material. Might as well leave the lock washer out.
