Good work Bruce. I made studs out of bolts from Home Depot and put them
in with RED loctite. I cut a slot in the top of my manufactured studs
and put them in tight with a screwdriver after tapping the hole to
remove debris. Star washers and nylock nuts went on with more of the
red stuff and I don't think it's going anywhere. If for some reason I
want to reverse the process a torch will quickly loosen things up.
