The important part is that the tab is probably 3 times as thick as the original. Which says to me that field failures of the tabs was a significant problem.
I will do a close dimensional comparison and get back with what I find. The design of these look to be a far better design to copy. I'll be able to give a full life cycle test result ten years after I install one of them

Hi Phil,
Did you end up fitting these "new design" lock washers? How they they work, do you have to bend them over the nut face?
Thanks,
