I'm kind of puzzled by that one, too, Paul. I've had them on my car
(daily driver for almost ten years) with no problem. I'm coming up on an
overhaul and I'd like to know your definition of 'routine' and your sources.
As long as the threaded diameter on the Goodrich hoses fit the ID of the
bulkhead tabs and there is enough flat area to fit a serrated lock
washer there shouldn't be any problem. I've run into lots of cars that
no longer have the locking plate and have not had any come back as long
as TWO lock washers are used.
