[Healeys] Safety Check

[Michael Salter]

I discovered that problem a few years back and the only solution that I
could figure was to install nyloc thin nuts if staying with the repop pins.
Seemed to work fine as I don't think there is very much axial load on those
special bolts.
Raced a few events like that and things seemed to stay in place.
Eventually I changed them all for good used parts with the castellated nut
and split pin..just seemed safer.
