[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1121806, member: 176704"] Since I came across them, I've become very "partial" to using "flanged serrated nuts" like [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401637550891']these[/URL] because you don't generally need any locking washers and they "bite" into most surfaces - also a lot quicker and less "fiddly" than using separate washers below plain nuts. A few months ago I used a LOT of them to finally stop my "boltless" garage shelving from coming apart at the slighest hint of movement - see post #506 [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/something-useful-for-the-garage-workshop.172603/page-26']here[/URL] - as that made fitting all those bolts one hell of a lot quicker and simpler. OTOH, I wouldn't use them where the torque settings are critical and maybe not on really hard unpainted metal surfaces. [/QUOTE]
