Wow

I followed your advise and went to McFadendales...man that is quite the store! I should have been there a long time ago. I took a micrometer and measured the beadlock rings sunk-in hole and the washer it came with.

The beadlock ring hole where the washer lays in a 0.770 hole, the new washer width is 0.737 compared to the old one of 0.658 and the washer hole is smaller than the stock washer as well, so the bolt is a tighter fit with less slop. As you can see in one of the pics a washer is installed on a bolt from the beadlock ring, it is a lot better fit than stock. I could not fine a collar bolt and if I did the price was starting to get high. A box of 100 washers is $3.20...cant beat that! 36 washers per wheel and it would take two boxes to complete the job for all wheels including spare. You can see by the pic that the part number/identifier/bar code ID of the exact washer in this scenario. This will eliminate to a high degree most of the problem to acceptable levels. The beadlock ring shifting after replacing washers will be minimum and inconsequential. You can replace all of them or certain ones at clock position if you wish. Again your call, but you have the item required to do the task.

Thanks Jim! Sincerely; Eugene
