Re: Star Lock Washers for Talons

In my experience, serrated lock washers on terminal block screws cause more harm than good. Most of these screws are plated brass and the serrations just tear them and the terminals up. A properly torqued terminal block screw will not loosen up over an FRC season.

And always use ring terminals. They are a pain to use sometimes, but a loose connection won't flop around and touch something you'd rather it didn't.
