If not and the nuts are grade 2(Lordknows, I've got a mess of them!), will it make any difference in my application? I'd think the softer nut might give me a little better jam when I tighten them down, and I suspect the shear strength of the bolt is more critical than the lateral tension. Am I thinking straight? Thanks for any help. Scotty
