Main Bearing Cap Question

Gentlemen:

I am rebuilding my 1275. I am in the process of bolting down the main bearing caps, but I do not have the tab washers.

I tried to get some at lowes, Auto Zone,, and Advance Auto, but no luck. Can I use regular lock washers instead? If no, are these tab washers something I can find locally?

The 1275 never had tab washers on the mains. No washers at all.
If you like, a drop of locktite on the bolts will not hurt.
