With respect, when the bolts are torqued down, the belleville washers _are_
flat washers. Though the wikipedia article
doesn't talk about them much as lockwashers, they're used extensively in
Alfas as lockwashers and that's why I started
using them against aluminum surfaces in the Healey. None of my 3 Alfas ever
used a split-ring lock washer on an
aluminum surface, as Healeys do.
FWIW - air cooled VWs use wave washers a lot on the engine - I wonder if
they act differently from bellevilles.
I know racers and aviation don't trust lockwashers - undoubtedly with good
reason, but they seem to work pretty well
on everyday cars.
