<<In my experience good old fashioned brass nuts in this area are still the
best option. If you are worried about them coming off, use a SS
lockwasher. The only thing is each time you remove them, replace them with
new nuts.>>
Almost TOTALLY agree, Alan. The 'SS locks' are IMHO a bit of overkill
(as you prove below<G>!!).
<<I've had brass nuts here, used with anti-seize, for over 40 K miles and
have not touched them, they stay nice and tight.>>
Absolutely!!! I would be scared to death to use steel ones (at least on my
own car<G>) as I have HAD the non-pleasure of having the CHORE of working on
custs' car WITH steel ones<VBF>!! NOT 'fun'!!!
Stick to the brass (in stock), Jim & Bob!!
