About to replace my nuts on the back of the headlamps with wingnuts to make them easier to remove. The original M8 nuts are nyloc but I can't seem to find wingnuts with nyloc and I'm a little concerned that ordinary wingnuts might rattle loose.
So............do wingnuts with nyloc exist? If so, where can I get some?

I use standard wing nuts. No issues.
I think JG supplies standard ones with his stainless kits.

I use normal nuts.
Can just get a small rattle in to get them out.

Access with a spanner through the bonnet only allows a quarter or half turn at a time, hence why I just thought I'd make life a bit easier in future using a wingnut.
Looks like locking washer is the way forward with a standard wingnut. Thanks James. Got any spare locking washers?

Yes! I'll happily pass them on if there is an appropriate place to meet...
Somewhere local....

Appalling. I'm horrified that you're going to have to put yourself through that kind of trauma.

Wingnut is cheaper than a ratshit spanner with a flex head.
