I remember a problem that the nuts from some suppliers were too thick to fully 
engage the locking part of the thread. Someone from Australia or New Zealand 
had posted that thereâ??d been failures. AH Spares agreed it could be a problem 
and sent me different nuts, but I ended up using fujilock nuts, which have a 
stainless locking featureâ?¦.no loosening so far.
