The little tab washers (#20 below) over the bridge bars that lock the
operating pistons in place are N/A.    I've got grade 5 nyloc nuts that
theoretically shouldn't need them but they're only grade 5 vs. the original
gr8 nuts.   I've heard others have used this as a substitute.

Should I be concerned?  I know there are some high pressures involved
inside the O/D but not sure about this location.

Cheers,
