Subject: Engines-List: Carburator to manifolt nuts on Lycoming

Well, studs and nuts actually.  While taking the carb off my Lycoming  
0-360 A1A, my mechanic commented on why the factory used a coarse thread  stud,

and a nut without safety wire, over a flat washer and star washer.

He thought a MS rated metal self locking nut over a flat washer seemed more 
 appropriate.

Can I legally do that on a certificated aircraft?  Thanks, Skip
