<DIV>Nylock nuts are designed to be used more than once. It's important
with any super-critical nut to torque them up with a torque wrench. Often what
can cause the nut to work loose is a soft metal washer or lock-tab
underneath them. I though the Leacy Classics price (came up in UK £s) was
expensive at something like 82 pence unless that was for a set of 4. For
anyone, especially all you 'mericans, try <A

side of the pond and don't mind really small orders. It's possible to
order aviation grade locknuts or aviation grade stainless steel locknuts.
Sometimes I'll use an ARP 12 point stainless nut which doesn't have a nylon
insert but torqued correctly doesn't come undone. I guess it's possible to
use threadlock in an appropriate grade and I use brake cleaner to clean the
threads first before using it when I do.</DIV>

Frogs.<BR><BR>Thought I should put this out to the readership just in
case............<BR><BR>I have the adapter hubs to convert the back end of the
Sprite from disc <BR>to wire wheels. I am using the small ny-lock nuts
(RCK103N - google it <BR>if you haven't seen these) and due to various issues
have had the hubs <BR>off and on several times. Now I remember reading
that one should not <BR>re-use this type of nut but, well who really
believes.... I now do, <BR>they came undone last week. No damage,
just a very loose wheel and <BR>hub. Got it home, cleaned up the mess,
and got it back together with my <BR>new spare set (I had 4 fortunately). If
you are using this adapter, be <BR>advised. If you are still using the
large nuts that can damage the <BR>wheels, these are an excellent way to go -
with the above caveat.<BR><BR>Drive
