But are the rounded style still availible and is the actual socket for it
availible?   I prefer the set screw style as I feel a lot better about the
prospect of it not backing off.  At the moment I have the set screw style on
the driver's side and the double nut style on the passenger side (nut inner,
round outer).  I can easily get the double nut style for the driver's side,
but I'd rather get the round outer with the set screws.   I do have one I
got off of a junkyard scout, but it'd been beat up a little and IIRC only
two of the set screws are there.  I need to remember to put that in the
appropriate area of the scout as it is still in the cup holder of the '70
c/10...
