[Healeys] Keeping rear shock bolts tight

While my comment didn't mention Mike Salter's contribution to the 
discussion, and have seen the quality of Mike's work over many years, I 
have no doubts about his problem solving ability. Where this situation 
gets worse, as has been mentioned, is when the holes in the mount plate 
get worn oval. It occurred to me that some enterprising person could 
devise a 3/8 thick plate with 2 tapped holes that would sit on the 
inside the the mounting plate and replace the nuts. It could locate in 
its soundings and be an easy retrofit to existing cars, without any 
welding involved, or could be welded in during a restoration. Just a 
thought for what it may or may not be worth.
Cheers
Larry Varley.
