I don't mind if a member of our band puts one of my guitar picks in his pocket.
It would be a whole different story if someone takes a white washer from one of my stompboxes.
This would be too much. I would probably ask for a collective punishment for all band members, and even then i wouldn't forget... Would you ?

The white washer could be a spacer for the inside. Other than that it goes in the jar with the 39 other ones. Much like the breakout boards they provide. Anyone want them let me know.
Lock washer on the inside, metal washer on the outside. You can use the extra nut as a spacer as well. All personal preference.
Jhaneyzz - Those muffler bolt washers are extremely effective in high heat high torque applications.
We fly large scale RC Sport planes and those washer make a huge difference as to whether or not your taking your cowl off and tightening muffler bolts every day you fly.

Wow, who would have thought that washers were so controversial.

I thought the nut was the ugly part, so I started using these...

I’ve blocked people because I learned they use those vile pieces of plastic.

Don't worry. I'm not easily offended. But I mean WTF dude...
I’m just kidding.
Seriously though I have a very dry sense of humor and I take everything with a grain of salt.
And oh by the way -- I apologize in advance if I ever offend anyone on this forum. I just like to have a bit of fun.
I know it's all shits and giggles until somebody giggles and shits...

People who don't like white washers started the fight in the first place. Not the realistic, curious, neutral and talented forum members, who know how to appreciate a good plastic white washer inside an enclosure.
Mostly by using very unkind words about the precious plastic ring, and by shamelessly questioning white washer users's moral integrity and good tastes.
Reasonable people, able to understand solid scientific evidence (see reply #21), couldn't stand idly by. We only tried to calm them down, in order to restore the quiet, appropriate and republican atmosphere for serious diy work .
But as my grandfather used to say : " when a wise person is pointing his finger toward the sun, some unreasonable people are looking at the finger"...
I guess we should start all over again from the beginning ?

What annoys me is tayda's Alpha pots vary from polished nuts to plain zinc nuts when you have to use skinny knobs on 5 & 6 pot 125B's where the nut is exposed!
I have to rob them from pots I know i am going to use with 19mm knobs on another build!!!
It's Real!!!

I think we can all agree that hardware is hard -- even if it is a little piece of white plastic.

I have a question for our dear fellows white-washerophobic members :
How do you feel aesthetically speaking about these plastic led mounting clips ?
Let's be honest, don't you feel also some kind of discomfort when you look at this picture ?
According to the traditional white-washerophobic point of view, aren't they also "ugly" ? Wouldn't they also ruin a stompbox artwork by their "cheap look" ?
Would it be even worse if they were white ?

I had to give into this when I built my Paragon because the metal bezel were shorting the pots so now I just accept their existence in some of my builds.

Those stamped pot-nuts are the worst.
They are handy when there is no Led pads on the Main PCB from other vendors.
You want to use them for the Eyes in Graphics like my Rat pedals!

Sorry, I kind of have to agree with the anti-white-washers on this one...
