You are right Jim.
the trick with jacknuts is to use a plies on the outside of it and turn the 
screw and get it slightly closed. if you do it just right it will barely pop 
thru and it will have enough pressure not to spin. once they start to close 
in their fixture, all it good!

i used these on my front turn signal mounts. worked great!
