I use Nylok's all the time.  But the Rohn supplied bolt is galvanized.
AFAIK, they don't make galvanized Nylok's.  At least, McMaster doesn't
sell them, which is normally a bad sign.

Does anyone have any experience with mating non-galvanized nuts with
galvanized bolts?  That's a no no?  I thought that they wouldn't fit due 
to the excess zinc material, but I've never tried it.  I suppose
I can also replace the bolt with non-galvanized.
