Barry, I'm with you. You pick your battles in life and making nuts just
isn't one of them for me either. One day, I hope to be a real jeeper
with a real Jeep. For now, I'll stick to my TJ, XJ and factory hard top
nuts. ;)

Weld nuts are what you want. Any good industrial or welding supply house
can supply 5/16-18 weld nuts which are a flat metal tab with a threaded
hole. They cost about $15 for a pack of 50.

In this case they are NOT standard nuts, they are bars that are self
holding after they turn 45 degrees.

But those are not self holding like the OEM parts.
