Re: Bell cap how to

[Magnus]

As I don't want to post in this discusion, I now see a very stupid debate growing. Especially as you're making a fool over yourself and anyone else in the topic.

Jurjen, I understand english isn't your first language. Where in my posts did I ever say that the bell cap DID NOT protect clothing or fabrics? In fact, I advocated that. Do you understand? I am in 100% agreement with that. My issue specifically is that a) it's not a new type of item, it's a washer, a finishing washer, a bell-cap washer...but irregardless it is a washer. b) that there is no way it is some innovative marvel of engineering designed to create less "poundage" (this is Brian's theory). The stresses on a bell cap washer and regular washer will be determined by how much the rivet is peened, not the shape of the washer...I mean come on.

Personally, I couldn't care about their usage with horses...different context.

If you need assistance translating posts Jurjen, feel free to ask. Otherwise you've misread just about everything in this thread beyond your how-to. Who's the fool now?
