Tinnermans

[Paul Eastham]

I haven't been able to find any basic info on tinnerman washers anywhere!

I could guess the answers to these questions, but I wonder what the VAF experts have to say: When should you use them? What are they good at? bad at? Countersink/installation tips?

I was looking at my emp fairing (#6 screws) and was thinking the thin material and countersink that will enlarge the hole might be a good use for 'em.

I used them on the prop spinner and the emp fairing. Anytime you are putting a screw into the outside surface of the fiberglass, it makes for good reinforcement. If that surface is overlapped by AL, like the wing tips, it isn't necessary.

Also on the wheel pant halves and the attach points. Roberta's got it!
