According to the link, you use Nylock nuts. How do you get the nylon to last? I've had very bad luck with Nylock nuts. All I've used had lost most of the nylon within 2 years and were no longer functional. When new they were great.

I live in Southern Michigan (43'37"N) and a ground elevation of only 630' MSL so UV isn't normally much of a problem, but lock nuts with short life are. We will see very few days above freezing (if any) for at least the next two months unless we get an above normal winter like 3 years ago.

Hi all,

All the talk about older Force 12 linear loading vs. Tornado coil upgrades inspired me to rebuild a 20-yr old C-4SXL I have had stored in pieces for a few years. I took some pictures along the way, and you can read about the process here:

I appreciate all the knowledge I have gained from this group that helped me with the project, your comments and abuse are welcomed.

Cheers & 73,
