Is there any way you can double-nut it? In other words, get it to the tension you want, then holding that nut with a wrench, snug another one up against it? "Double-nutting" is a very effective way of locking a nut into position.

BTW... Mr. Bill- your mountains are beautiful...

IF you can find nuts thin enough to use with existing bolt length (or replace with longer bolt)...double nutting would be MY choice. Aircraft nuts will back off with enough torque...but that's what the Teflon does in moderating the break-away stiction.

Just need to play with it and figure out the solution that works best for you. Lots of ways to "skin the cat."



Mountains are interesting....leftmost peak is Thompson, the last in the Sierra range. Everything to the right is the beginning of the Cascades. My property is unique as the ridge I sit on is the "official" beginning of the Great Basin to the north and east.
