[Healeys] BJ8 rear carb removal

[Alan Seigrist]

Jack -

I note that on the pegasus website these jet nuts are locking nuts.  Are the
ones you have locking nuts?  I'd prefer not to use locking nuts as I'm
worried about wear on the studs - these particular nuts don't really need
locking to stay in place.
