Gents;
I must fasten some really well machined aluminum pieces, traditionally requiring lock washers. The AN bolts will be removed and re-installed frequently, so Loctite is out. Quite confined area, so safety wire will not work either.
Q: As I can place an AN960 washer on one surface, then a STOUT lock washer, followed an AN4-28 bolt. Can I possibly assume the ‘sprung’ pressure of the lock washer will exert enough force to secure the bolt in place.
As this is an an absolutely drop dead gorgeous upright, and would not be inclined to mar the machined surfaces. BUT, is this smart?
