[TowerTalk] Rohn tower bolts and nuts: how to use the nuts?

[Mac]

Experience [my own] has been the nut will seldom /'start' /with the 
dings first or to the inside, but rather the starting with the non dings 
allowing the threads to first pass thru the nut body then begin to grab 
onto the threads as the threads pass thru the nut body.  Short answer ? 
dings to the outside..
