They use lock nuts these days. And I've been brave enough to re-use them. Still alive.

These days = since the 1990s.

They jump from M12 to M16 so no M14 though, thought for sure they'd have them. they are crushed or distorted on the top to lock the nut from coming loose.

Money wasting fanboy speak for "deformed thread lock nut"

McMaster and the other usual sources should have them.

Stover nut

I’ve never heard that term “stover.” I throw around the name “prevailing torque lock nut.” Stover is way simpler.

Stover nut

Never heard of that either. I’ve always called them crimp nuts. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen that in print.

i thought "top lock" was pretty simple. I guess before this thread I'm not sure what a Stover nut would refer to.

Napa carries those around here. "Hey, have you got those smashed locknuts?"
