[Nobbc] Speaking of hydraulics.

[Clif & Deborah Williamson]

I think the original name was Pem nut, but there are now lots of 
manufactures.  Drill a hole and light press fit the pem nut on the back 
side.  But make sure they are pressed, otherwise you might as well use a 
regular nut.
Not sure if this will help your situation, but there are also nuts that have 
lock washers attached.  These work really well if you can't get wrench 
access and don't have the tool to press fit a pem nut.   Also really good 
against vibration.  I have some 10-32 cad plated nuts of this verity if you 
need some.
