So if the threads and nuts are in good shape, I always tighten to the next hole. Sorry to disagree with you Old. I respect your opinion 99.9% of the time. Richard in NW SC   [Reply]  [No Email]

And yes most of the time I go tighter not the other way unless it is so close as to be off by a hair redhead by the way LOL   [Reply]  [No Email]
