I would not use a lock washer, I would use a flat washer...A lock washer is intended to permanently anchor a nut or screw..(bolt ?)The sharp edges on it bite into the metal...In the case of the KXPD1 paddle, the body of the paddle is aluminum, a relatively soft metal...Since the paddle will most likely removed and re-attached often, the lock washer would gradually chew it's way into the body of the paddle, eventually defeating it's purpose as a spacer and marring the paddle...

>Thanks to all that helped me with this issue...
My final solution was to add a #6 lock washer (this was almost enough) then
to carefully disk the end of the knerled Bolt (the group seems to call it aq
screw) with a drummel..
Dah Dah it is fixed...
Thank you all agian
