Slant fuel pump securing screws?

The fuel pump oil leak has been getting steadily worse, so whilst the car is off-road awaiting brake parts to arrive I thought I would fit a new pump to block gasket, from one of the 9 now available to me! :lol:
Both bolts securing the fuel pump were loose. :oops:
Pump off, old gasket (nowt wrong with it) off and surfaces cleaned, new gasket, pump on.
Looking at the parts book the screws/bolts only have a flat washer on the securing screws, any reason why I shouldn't fit a spring washer?

They may make it harder to get the correct alignment of the pump lever on the cam...

Use the 'magnet in socket' method.
