    Rambozo yes I am weldinf the 14/"-20 nuts to the side and I did think about threading the coupling nut. These are SS and the wall is very thin not thick like a zinc plated coupling nut. This is why I decided to weld the nuts on. I'm going to see if I can get some flange nuts locally. I will check the dimensions and see if it will fit on the coupling nuts.

    Mark is there such thing as unfinished SS nuts?

    The better question is; are there such things as finished ones?
    BTW cadmium has not been used on fasteners in many years, but the silver zinc that is used is also no good for welding either, grind it off.

    Nope, they come plain. I guess I should have used the multi quote thing.

    Just saw this. Cadmium is still around and in common use. Buy them all the time.
