Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper installation, match the washer size (thread diameter x outer diameter) exactly to your existing bolt hardware. When tightening, apply moderate pressure; avoid over-torquing, as aluminium is softer than steel and can deform if forced. Because these parts are anodised, use high-quality hex tools that fit snugly to avoid marring the surface coating. Cleaning is straightforward: use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to remove road film. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes that could strip the anodised layer over time. Always confirm that your chosen mounting point is not subjected to chassis or engine stress before installation.
