Hello Everyone:
I am going to replace my boom blocks and through-bolt the straps. My question is what to use for fasteners; specifically nuts. I am aware of the vise-grip trick, as well as using LANOCOTE. However, do I use just two plain nuts with some loc-tite, one nut with a lockwasher (split or star?) or or a plain nut and a nyloc on top. Also, is it advisable to through-bolt the vang key holder while I have the thing apart?
