Right. Also, nylon locknuts should not be reused too
often.

Well, that's for sure. I wouldn't reuse them at all.


I'm curious, what size bolt ( machine screw) are you going
to use?

Well, that's an interesting story. So, I decided to give it a try on
one of the stays. I pulled the pin on the top of the buckle, and no
problem putting a 6-32 in there. I tried the bottom, but it wouldn't
go. I thought this is odd. Why would a turnbuckle have two different
size holes... so I figured it was an anomoly and moved to the second
of three (three stays per side). Same deal. Fits on the top, doesn't
fit on the bottom. I tried all six. Same deal.

What's up? Any idea?
