They are about 3/4-inch in diameter and have= a screwdriver slot across the center. You cannot use a= screwdriver though because the nosebolt extends up through the= nut. Clearly, the ideal tool to tighten them would be a large= version of the supply-house tool made for smaller versions of= these types of nuts like you would find on the key hold-down= rail (what is that thing called?). Does any such tool exist? Has= anyone made such a tool? What do others use to drive these= nuts? As always, they have been partially mangled by others using= poorly improvised tools. I will be refinishing them and the= plate and wish to do things properly. Any ideas? Thanks. Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
