[Healeys] Safety Check

[Larry Varley]

Hi Mike and Stephen, yes I thought the nyloc half nuts would have a 
better chance of staying in place also. It's probably worth saving the 
castellated nuts of old units if the repros have the same thread. I 
didn't check that. Probably not easy to get them these days. They 
certainly never came off.
Cheers
Larry
