As Miq stated, counter sink them. If the washer was mounted on top of the
wood, or if the washer is not offset, the bolt would rotate when attempting
to tighten it.
The square center of the offset washer, prevents the bolt from rotating
relative to the washer, and since the center of the offset washer is not in
the center, if the bolt attempts to turn, it will attempt to turn the
washer and the washer will bite into the wood of the bed, preventing it
from turning, and allowing you to tighten the bolt.
Well I'm at the point of bolting together the new oak wooden bed in the
back
of my 66 stepside. Does anyone happen to know if the offset washers are
supposed to sit on top of the wood? Or are they to be countersunk so they
are flush with the surface? An old piece of plywood was in the truck to
begin with so I have nothing to go by.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks!
