Using the thick washers too?
Only reason not to,... because you are cheap/lazy.

Thay are spendy for nuts/washers and it does take some effort to aquire them  :)

Oh ok.
I have somehow come to own a large bag of these.
I vaguely remember buying them years ago.
Today I was searching for some nuts to mount my downpipe and came across this bag.

Guess I'll use them.  8)
