I stand corrected on the tab washer vs. lock washer question.  That is how I 
learn, by asking questions.  The new tab washers have already been ordered 
(And shipped I hope, eh, Ed?) so you can rest assured, my calipers will not 
fall off.

It still seems to me that the term "lock washer" would indicate that it would 
aid in locking the bolt in place.  Silly me to assume such dribble.
