Metal self locking nuts tend to damage the plating, that's why I tend to 
avoid them. They are useful, though, inside the engine compartment, where 
Nylon locknuts are not allowed because the Nylon insert would melt at high 
temperatures.

I rarely agree with Serge, but in this case he is absolutely correct.  Cad 
plated bolts and self locking nuts only.  To line up the pin positions 
with drilled bolts you often times have to either overtorque or 
undertorque the bolts.  I prefer AN363 metal self locking nuts for this 
application, but that is a matter of preference. 

I'm not calling Mark's wrong, but I wouldn't encourage others to do the 
same.

1 - Cadmium plated. The Stainless Steel ones are not suitable, because 
they are weaker, and they induce galvanic corrosion.
2 - Undrilled.
3 - The nuts will be AN365 (Nylon locknuts)
4 - No Locktite on structural applications.

Once you have torqued the bolts, you can put a strip of paint to mark, and 

be able to check visually in the unlikely event that you would lose the 
torque.

Have a nice trip to ASS!

On the WAF through bolts.. 3/16" AN3 etc.... what type of bolts should I 
get.. Cad Plated or Stainless?  Drilled or undrilled?
What kind of nuts if not drilled?
Should you use Locktite?

On my way to AS&S!
