Are nyloc nuts OK to use to secure the flywheel in place or do I have to use all-metal lock nuts ?

    Use all metal Gr 8.  You don’t want the nylon to fail and have an errant flywheel slicing through your leg unexpectedly.

    OK, thanks. I had a look through some boxes of stuff and found 6 lock nuts of the right size (left over from the con rods), so I'll use them.
