Yes, there are flat washers that go between the head and nuts. The
originals were specials with a smaller od than usual, but ordinary grade 8
will work (other than being visibly not 'correct'). I was told by BFE not
to use the reproduction originals, as they are too soft and will deform over
time, reducing the clamping force.
