Spring Loaded Turnbuckle?

Something to be aware of, no idea how affects things, the nylock wing nuts that I've seen were not steel. They were aluminum or some other soft metal casting.

I trick that I picked up somewhere when dealing with nylocks that you don't need to be full strength is to run a Starting tap part way thru the nylon itself. Seems odd to compromise a self-locking nut this way. Isn't the "self-locking" part why you used it? Yet more than once I've found myself doing this vary thing.
