Have i to use washers for the radiator screws?

Question

Thanks for the reply. I got one more thing: I think the scre cutouts are not very clean, need a lot more resistance to put the screws in compare to my alphacool radiators, is that normal? And is there a need to use washers for the screws? I saw wenn i put the screws through a fan without one, there is maybe just 1mm(or less) space to the fins. Dont want to kill the radiator, there is no protection plate for the fins like on others. Thanks alot:)

Dear Kim,

Thanks for your response.
It is normal to add more resistance to putting the screws into the radiator because they are new.
It is better to use washers for the screws to avoid turning the screws into the fins.
But when you use the correct screws, it won't break the fins.
