[QUOTE="Jason Lavoie, post: 93362, member: 159"] Re: Shoulder Eye-Bolts: washer or not? for my situations I'm generally only inserting the eye bolts once, so I'm ok with digging into the wood a bit. The only reason I can think of NOT to use a washer is that usually the hole in the wood is larger than the bolt so unless the shoulder is wedged in that countersunk hole it could be pulled sideways a bit and the Tnut could move, or if it is into a tapped plate it may put stress on the threads in a direction that wasn't anticipated. This of course doesn't matter if you are dead-hanging straight from the eye bolts, but unless we're talking subs it seems that speakers always need to be on an angle. But of course it depends...
