Also what would you recommend to tighten the nut with.  I am using pliers now which seems to work pretty good.   I just don't have much room in there with all the wires running everywhere.

The nylon part is inside, and in the case of that picture, the washer would be under it.

Also in a pinch you can use 2 nuts and they will bind together and not loosen up as easily. You should also try to get a socket head over the nut, since that will allow you to tighten it much better and more easily than a pliers.

The nylon insert part of the nut faces in the direction opposite from the bolt head.

There is no room to do the socket head over the nut way.  My mouting bolts are too long.  So what do you guys think about the washer,lockwasher, nut method?
rdowdy95:
OKay I think I know what I am going to do.  I am going this order.  Washer, Lock Washer, Lock Nut.  That I think it will very secure and good.  I think this will be the best way since I am using pliers to tighten the nut on there.
