Another key application for nylock nuts is that they can be left
slightly loose for those instances where you want to allow for
movement such as at pivot points. You can obtain a snug fit so things
aren't flopping around, but you can still move the parts.

All steering assemblies and some brake assemblies on official All
American Soap Box Derby cars use nylock nuts for this very purpose. In
fact, by rule, the steering assemblies require *two* nylock nuts on
the same bolt. Talk about overkill!


Nothing is too safe for our kiddies. They should require 3!



Hi,
Overkill is better than underkill, LOL!
