Re: [Healeys] Further to Safety Check

I think I'd just use the nylon locknuts with blue threadlocker, and put a 
witness mark on the nut and threads. The suspension ought to be inspected 
fairly regularly anyway (we're all checking our shock mounts for cracks, 
right?).

This is a follow uo to Larry Varley's note about the nyloc nuts on 
the wishbone to frame pins. 
I've contacted the supplier of my bush/pin set in England with our 
concerns, and they responded promptly. They tell me they can get the 
original style castellated nuts, or a thinner locknut. 

I'm going to give the thinner locknuts a try, because I can't face 
taking the coil springs out again, to remove and drill the bolts for 
the split pins. As it is, I'm going to have to remove a few things to 
make access easier. I'm just glad I'm doing this before my final 
bolting up of the body panels. 

Mike Salter mentioned using thinner locknuts...did that fix the problem, Mike?
