I purchased the hardware necessary to replace the top wood in my 1930 Tudor per the list on page 3-61 of Les Andrew's Vol II book. For the bow support rails the list shows the following:
10-32 x 1 1/2 Machine Screw
#10 Lock Washer
10-32 Nut
On page 3-79, the instructions mention using a 1/4 flat washer instead of the #10 Lock Washer.
Can someone tell me the correct washer to use? I realize this area eventually will not be visible, but would prefer to use the proper hardware and only do this once if one works better than another.
When I disassemble something, I usually document this type of thing with photos or notes, but for some reason didn't when I removed the bows and supports. Maybe I put too much faith in having a book with instructions? Anyway, another lesson learned.
