Good info.

Making good progress, but found locknuts were not a good choice for holding elevator bolts. The bolts do not hold in the decking as soon as the nylon insert contacts threads. Looks like hex nuts and bending the bolt when tightened is still the system to use.

Ordered 100 elevator bolts, not enough.

One trick an old-timer taught me, to lock a nut on a bolt, deform the thread next to the nut with a small cold chisel and hammer.

Any video available on how to change this out? Pulled panels and now looks like I have to remove galvanized channels and put in new fiberglass everywhere
