Smart Method: Nord-Lock Bolt Securing System

The Nord-Lock Bolt Securing system (washers) has proven to hold tightness in a vibrating environment much better than other typical bolt securing systems such as nylon inserted nuts, split ring washers, and a regular bolt and nut. The Nord-lock system is also easy to mount and dismantle unlike some other methods.
