Take a regular nut, hold it up to the mirror.  Reach into the mirror
and grab the one in there!
OK, enough out of me; McMaster has a full selection, but the wire
method is more secure anyway.  Locking nuts with lockwashers might be
good to keep the turnbuckles from loosening, but I like the safety
wire through the guy thimbles anyway.
