get rid of the lock washers.
now you can make the regular nuts lock nuts by placing them on end and pounding them with a hammer to make them slightly oblong.

Yes, I have yet to exploit the infinite powers of caulk, except when it comes to fighting ant holes and sealing shower stalls.

When it comes to washers and nuts and bolts, I have a tendency to go manic crazy. There is actually a *second* lock washer inside the plastic lug nut, sandwiched between two other washers. When I see a bolt, it's like a metal shish-kabob to me. At least it's a cheap thrill.
