Take a hammer and peen the end of the threaded bolt, this will stop it from
turning off. You still are able to remove the grill from the rail.

ok....anybody else have the nice rail mount for these grills?....well it
finally happened, I dropped overboard the little nut lever to tighten it
to the
rail...good thing I stock a few stainless wing nuts for such a cause (at a
whole $0.80 a piece instead of the Magma replacement part at $6)...and
putting
a lanyard on the part is a mess too......anway this bring me to my
point....WTF?....is this a stupid design flaw or what?...why in hell is it
necessary to back the nut or 'lever' off to the bitter end of the damnit
threaded rod?...I mean come on Magma....an extra 1/2 inch of rod is
workable
into the price isn;t it?..... and then to pull the pins to slide the rail
connector up the rod to get an extra 1/2 inch or so....well that is a
major
pita......rant mode off.......ok I am better now....

Surprise, surprise. Peened bolts.
This was Royce's preferred chassis
building method on the earliest Rolls Royces
- now worth more than their weight in silver.
