hope you bought one of those fish thingies we were talking about.
toffee, why did you even start this thread? I mean, you're an intelligent person, you should have known a post about nuts and screws would degenerate into a thread of sexual innuendos, with some of the nuts on here!
Still, at least its not another racist thread!

to be honest,I should have seen it coming and although I can be rude with the rest of you when I wish to be I honestly did not mean anything rude with this.
I was feeling quite chuffed with myself at sorting the bits into the right piles according to what they were from the diagrams and getting it all together with the bits in the right order etc.
I dont have a clue about these things so it isnt a case of knowing what sits next to what automatically.
It seemed like a lot of hassle... having all these seperate pieces and not just two. I used the correct names for them as I was quite pleased with myself for knowing!!!!
I went to wilkinsons today for a torch and got a cheapy bar b to keep in the boot of my car since I am on a roll at the moment with er... need to be careful on the choice of words.... putting things together....
It incidently only had the two parts (being screw and nut) and as I put it together, kept working loose.
So, I think I can see why you need all the other bits now!!

Washer spreads the load and helps prevent damage from turning nuts and the like against the parts being secured.
Can also be used to prevent nuts / bolts working loose - stake, spring and other types.

The Belleville washer, cupped spring steel.. great usage in engineering.. using different combos of convex or concave abutment

Nice link there to a NASA fastener design manual. 9 MB
Upshot .. good fastening involves the use of washers.... I bet there are not many with a selection in their tool box.
Leaving out such items, or using such made from incorrect material in aerospace work could lead to disaster... If an inspector missed the error of course.
