You said shorter nuts

That would be shorter bolt, and that's not really an option in this scenario. I can't afford to stock 10 different bolt lengths and custom fit the right length to any given opening. The good news is that a buddy from another forum gave me the perfect solution, and that is to take a deep well socket, cut the drive head off of it, weld the nut driver portion to one end of a length of pipe, and the drive head to the other end of the pipe. This way I can have a custom length socket at a fraction of what even a modest 4" socket will cost. Now all I have to do is find a length of pipe and someone with a welder ... (don't worry, I've already got that covered)

Thanks for the help and the ideas, we now return you to your regularly scheduled shenanigans.

DOH!! I hate it when that happens, which is more frequently than I'd care to admit.

I don't even get it here, which sucks because RG is a great show - backwoods, redneck, but a great show.
