I'm interested in getting opinions on the following:
Periphery washers - I know that they should be used to do a "full restoration" but are they any better than a washer/lock-washer combo?

Nylock nuts - I used to use them a lot on a TR-4 that I raced and had good luck with them. Are many of you using them?

Anti-sieze - In removing the lug nuts, that where last off about 4 yrs ago, the previous owner used anti-sieze on the stud threads and most of it appeared to be pushed to the base of the stud. I havn't tried this yet, but would you get better performance if you applied it to the female thread?I'm curious
