Busted every knuckle except paint, long-block engine and tranny on the Mustang, why? Also maintained all my own drivers until everything on that side of the driveway had a full-maintenance warranty.

My heavy tools are currently buried just deeply enough that I can't get to them, so I'm fiddling with small tools on what I can, including this minor project.

My hope was that someone would point me to a source of beauty or finish nuts that I was unaware of. I have a preference for mechanical locking on parts I intend to remove frequently. Loctite's fine for many things but I'd prefer not to use it in these situations. I've had composite parts, such as a hollow shift ball with a brass insert, break when trying to undo even a blue Loctite seal.
