Re: nuts up

[Tessie McMillan <tessmc@domain.elided>]

Thanks Russ! Yes it is the 10mm bolt with the .. 1.5? pitch nuts. I didn't 
do that part of the work (that's one good thing about being a girl, I can 
play dumb sometimes ... well, it isn't always playing though), so I don't 
know why the nuts failed to stay on. There isn't a trick, is there?  
You did write me a treatise a while ago on double-nutting.... Since 
I don't have the nuts now, I'm not sure whether to buy regular nuts or 
nylock ones.

p.s. there comes a point where you don't feel any better but you just 
decide What the Hell and Let's Get On With Life. Maybe it will take my 
mind off the pain and I'll at least have gotten my car on the road &B-]. 
That would make me 2 for 3 and I'm hoping to get to 3 for 3 on my next 
pitch (P-car is in the garage but still not road-worthy).
