Title: H81 Bottle Stack Nuts
Post by: Zerbie on November 08, 2020, 01:44:12 pm
I was doing some cleaning on my H81 bottle stack parts this morning and noticed that on the 8-32 nuts shown in the pics that one side of the nut has like three rectangular indents on the nut. The other side of the nut is plain. Does anyone  know which way the orientation of these nuts go on to the screws? Does it matter and anyone know if there was a special purpose for using nuts like these?

Thx,
Zerbie

Those are self-locking nuts. Flat side screws on first.
