- and to make it easier to turn. Grease the washers, too.
- The Blu-Tack seals the hole, keeping water out.

- The washer under the bolt head allows the bolt to turn easily.
*When a T+K bracket is fitted to a wall without washers, it can rest on raised bricks causing the bracket to distort and making corrosion more likely. |
