Yes, I suppose so. You could weld on a tab with a hole in it, or a post. But 
these might get in the way of your wrench, so a hole might be best. This could 
be a fix where a hole is not possible.  Or, how about a square tab over a 
square nut head, which is in turn fastened/wired?


Whatever it is, the goal is to secure it so it can not turn out- from 
vibration, or whatever.
