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.

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. -Jeff Scott -- "Mark Jones" <mjo...@muellersales.com> wrote: That will work too.

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!
