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.

6-32 ? that's really small, do you have tiny nuts, too?

Yep... with nylon. The ones I put on, I didn't tighten
down very much...
sort of like what you'd find with a regular pin. You can
turn them by hand.


Then they're too loose.

Why? They carry no weight and there's no shear issues.
