Good morning List,
 
I just got my L-T-D peg kit from TRF, #RFK923, and notice that there are no
washers.  Interestingly, TRF does not provide any washers to go under the
pegs, whether machine or wood screw shanks.  Moss does show that there is a
leather washer, #435-515, under all the pegs for all commissions numbers.
 
I called TRF and they offered no explanation but it would seems to me, and
TRF agreed, that you would need something to protect the paint where these
pegs are on the body and to keep from twisting the vinyl/leather where the
pegs are used to secure the capping rails.
 
Just putting this out there as I would hate for someone to mess up a nice
paint or re-cover this way, I am going to get some washers before I proceed
with my installation.
 
As always, comments and advice are very welcome!
