what to do with lock washers on binding posts?

[davemessina]

Hi all,

My speaker binding posts came with

- 2 flat washers on each post
- 2 black lock washers on each post
- 2 nuts on each post

in that order from inside (plate side) to out.

The instruction manual makes no mention of the lock washers. (For that matter, it doesn't mention the second flat washer, either.)

Could someone please advise on:

- what to do with these extra parts
- what the correct order of assembly is?


Many thanks!
Dave

 I'd go Lock washer,flat washer-plate-flat washer, lock washer, nut...John

You can discard the extra sets of parts.
