Another way of securing the exhaust nuts which worked for me is to drill
a
small hole across a corner of the nut from flat to flat. It is then
possible to wire lock the nut. Wicks sell the necessary jig for $30.59.
I'll add:
An old trick, and a good one. Before you shell out the big bucks for
the jig, use your drill press table vise to hold a nut with the flat
straight up. Center punch the spot where you want the oblique hole to
start, now drill a very small pilot hole partway into the flat, going
straight in.
This gives you a good starting point for the final oblique hole between
two flats--just reposition your nut in the vise and have at it.
