Pat, Regarding the cotter (not "carter") pin hole - fiberlock nuts should probably not be used with a bolt having a hole within the threaded portion. The thought is that the sharp edge or a burr around the hole could damage the locking ability of the fiberlock, especially if the nut has been removed and put back on several times.

So now I have a couple of questions. The wheel attached to the landing gear main has four bolts with fiber lock nuts, is this acceptable? There is carter pin hole in the bolt, nor safety wire hole in the nut. Next, how do you clean the journals of the crank after nitriding? I don't have a lathe so can't mount it and polish that way.
