I added spring washers to mine and they seem to be working ok so far...the only issue you will come up against is tightening the flange bolt next to the actuator.. does anyone have and advice on how to get to this bolt?

Don't overtighten as the high tensile bolt will quickly strip the soft alloy head thread. Can confirm. I have done this on two bolts.
