Here we go again. Aftermarket molding clip doesn't work. Why sell this shit. See attached picture. The one on the right is original and the one on the left is after market.
Stud is to short. Can't get a washer and lock washer yet alone a nut on.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) |

So tired of people that sell stuff that is totally unfit for its intended purpose. The split lock washer is completely unnecessary. Maybe if you just do nut and flat washer it will be long enough? |

I agree but pet states lock washer and nut. Just saying. I try and build the way it was on every thing. I can barely get the nut on. Thats in a pretty tight space. |

Thats in a pretty tight space. That’s fine if you’re trying to build concours project. Otherwise lock washers used up through the 70s do absolutely nothing to “lock” fasteners. NASA fastener design manual from 90s clearly states this along with tons of fastener torque testing within various industries. Just trying to give you an option  https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/1990000...19900009424.pdf |
