I'm sitting in the split bolt sections.

Me too. I busted too many knuckles doing split bolts in tight spaces to give up and let people get away with something easier... You all have to pay your proper dues!

And get the heck offa my lawn while you're at it! :wheelchair:
 
What would be your next choice? I tried a couple places around me and nobody had them

The more common term that hardware people will know them by is "Belleville washers" or "Conical washers". They are convex (or concave depending on which side you look at) and made from spring steel so when tightened, they flatten out and their spring tension is always pushing against the bolt/screw threads, keeping them tight..
