Ummm, I don't think that setup uses a lockwasher. The ones I got had 12 pt 
bolts that had a pronounced radius in the transition from the bolt body to 
the head. This required a chamfered washer which was available for another 
$1 or $2 each.

Depending on when you did this mod, it might have been the only reliable 
option... but I use ARP too on the race car. Nice hardware. And not really 
overkill.
