I have had issues with some of the hardware on #499 as well. It seems that Backdraft uses common flat nuts and star washers on many of the non-load bearing aplications throughout the car.

I went to the local Fasten-All dealer and bought a bag of Ny-lock nuts (100ea) for $4.00 and begun replacing most of the flat nuts. I don't know why Backdraft uses flat nuts abd star washers on cars that vibrate as much as these do...
