Hi Guys
Just about to bolt up my gearbox to the block and wanted to check if it's okay to use a Nylock nut in the gearbox or if the nylon will deteriorate over time.
Welcome any advice before I put it all together!

Nyloc nuts are used on driveshaft yokes where they can cop lots of oil and I think the speedo drive gears in the box are in nylon too.

there's also the question of why you actually want to put a fictitious wizard's coin in your gearbox.... http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Knut
