Regardless, this is a really nice design that gives a lot more room for changes than most of the stickies.
Washers can help distribute the weight over a wider area and help prevent unnecessary wear between surfaces. It would also help eliminate fiction between the nut and the surface. There is reason they are used, and cost is literally less then a couple bucks, it’s sincere advice. It’s kinda the reason you come to a form (help, advice).
