What kind of nut and washers are you guys using for this? I have the all thread cut to 6 inches. But everytime I try to torque the balancer on the washers start to bend and warp.

Try the torch method. I do it every time now. I heat the balancer up for about 2-3 minutes with a propane torch then haul *** over to the crank snout and push it on. It typically gets about 60-80% of the way on with a slight tap from my gloved hand. A stock bolt sucks it down the rest of the way.

I dont have a torch and can't find metric all thread at home depot or the two local mom and pop hardware stores. Where is everyone else finding it?
