Full details
The Pro-Bolt Alloy Nyloc Nuts are designed for motorcycle and automotive enthusiasts looking to reduce weight while securing components in areas prone to vibration. Featuring a nylon insert to prevent loosening, these nuts offer a significant weight reduction compared to stainless steel or titanium alternatives, making them ideal for aesthetic and secondary mounting applications. However, it is important to note that these nuts are explicitly not suitable for stress-bearing or safety-critical structural applications, requiring careful selection during installation.

FAQs
Are these suitable for brake caliper mounting?
No. These nuts are not suitable for any stress-area or safety-critical applications, including brakes or suspension.
Can I reuse these nuts?
While they can sometimes be reused, the efficiency of the nylon locking insert diminishes every time it is removed and reinstalled.
What is the weight advantage?
They are 60% lighter than stainless steel and 40% lighter than titanium.
Do I need special tools to install them?
Standard wrenches or sockets are sufficient, but ensure they are the correct size and free of burrs to avoid damaging the anodised finish.
Will they rust in the rain?
They are resistant to saltwater and road film, meaning they will not rust like standard steel hardware, though they should be kept clean.
How many come in a pack?
These are sold in a pack of 5.
Troubleshooting
Nut feels difficult to thread
Verify that the thread pitch matches the bolt exactly and that there is no debris in the threads before starting.
Anodised finish is dulling
Avoid using aggressive chemical cleaners and ensure road grime is washed off regularly to maintain the integrity of the coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pro-Bolt Alloy Nyloc Nuts, always use a matching bolt size and thread pitch provided by Pro-Bolt. When installing, avoid over-torquing the aluminum material, as it is softer than steel. Use a clean socket to prevent scratching the anodised finish during tightening. For maintenance, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could strip the anodised layer. Check them periodically during routine maintenance to ensure the nylon insert remains intact and effective.
