[TR] Tab washers

[Wbeech@flash.net]

My thoughts,
I like the tab if only to have the peace of mind that there is a mechanical stop to secure the nut, or drill and safety wire.  If you decide to go the self lock route, use a stover nut and not nyloc.

Have to make a decision, do I go with rod  and main caps with bolts that use tab washers or the self locking type?.
The self locking scare me a bit since I can’t see (but do understand) how they work.  I can see how the self locking might be preferred by production engineers for speed but are they otherwise better?
Give me an answer so I have someone other than me to blame when my engine comes apart .  :)
