Ah, this is a question that occured to me as I disassembled the front
suspension on my '74 the other day. Has anyone tried split washers in lieu
of the bend-over tabs on these bolts, and if so, how did you fare? I'll be
using the car for autocrossing, which means new brake pads every 4 to 6
months, and the tabs are a pain to undo....
