I have The Hawthorne place's gigantic catalog, but the way this web thing
is going, it is getting easier first to search at www.mcmaster.com than
drag out all my nuts and bolts books and go through them.

I faxed my local Bowman Distribution man down here to see what he says.

I would tend to shy away from a nylon insert-style lock nut merely out of
ignorance of the consequences of deviating from the factory specified
deformed-round type. Maybe we can just get regular ones and crush the ends
of them ourselves to make them slightly out of round.
