Chuck, are you disagreeing with Jarrid?
Curious, I did a quick search and found this web site:
http://www.fasteners.net/
which promises to be a good source of information on A to Z
[Anchor bolts to Wing nuts]
There is a link to search the site on the above page URL or go direct to a
data chart/page :
http://www.americanfastener.com/techref/washers.htm
regarding all kinds of washers. More size information than you ever hoped
to see but nothing on choice of application. Maybe it is elsewhere on this
site.
Hope this information is useful to someone.
