NOT an application for a USED nylok nut. They form (displace??) a thread into the nylon portion the frist time used - that is how they get their grip. A re-used one has much less retention. Totally agree that bad things (think expensive) happen when the nut works loose..... Edited 2 hours ago by ri702bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
