Hi,
The nuts called out on my plans are NAS 679A6, if we
are talking about the same nuts, the ones in the gear
tower:

Van's calls this a "Low profile, Self-Locking 3/8-24".

I missed that , had to go back and check. The MS21042 are also much lower
profile than NAS365 nut and the reduced diameter of the wrenching area
should allow even more room. I can't see any reason these nuts need to be
low profile unless bolt length is an issue. We'll have to check for a thread
and a half extending through the nut when they are all torqued down. The
strength is even better so I'm going to be trying them when the time comes.
