Thanks, John.  The clamps we are talking about have a serrated flange washer 
nut, and I have never felt the need to use another washer even when I had 
the thread length to accommodate one.

I know most everyone seems to want stainless steel.  However, living in 
Arkansas, I have never had a problem with galvanized, certainly not having 
one seize or break.  When someone wants to argue about the reasons for 
stainless over galvanized, I ask them the material and finish of their tower 
and tower hardware.  That usually ends the discussion.
