[Mgs] '71 MGB Prop/drive shaft bolts and nuts -- use Nylok or regular nuts?

[Paul Hunt]

You are correct, see here - http://tinyurl.com/brsangn.  The bolts can only 
be removed/fitted once the gearbox flange has been removed from the shaft. 
Nylocs are probably at least as good as plain nuts even with spring-washers.
