I'll have to look through my archives and see if I can dig it up, but I know 971 was able to modify some special nut we found at Orchard Supply Hardware to do the job. IIRC we could get them in packs of 20 for a few bucks, and all we had to do was hit them with a grinder to flatten out the sides and they worked like a charm.
