does anyone know of a quick release nut?
ive just got my bike trailer and the light board is on a tilting panel which drops down when you undo 2 nuts to make access to the ramp.
its a pain in the ass doing and undoing 2 nuts and i reckon there must be some kind of quick release type thingy out there..

thanks Thumbs Up

People usually use an antiluce fastener for that application.

Drill a hole through the bolts and fit R clips.

One's I've had have often used a stud with a hole and a 'key ring' style clip - not sure the official term, but it's basically a key ring where one end points in to the middle. That makes it easier to put on and remove than a keyring, but more secure than an R-Clip.

Ah, yes, used those as well Thumbs Up... but no, what I was describing was basically a cheaper form of one, as it's just a single bit of metal.

It wasn't actually a keyring and was designed for purpose (bit more flexible), but wasn't far off.

thanks for the ideas guys.....from the way there is a threaded stud already welded in place and i am limited to room i think a nice chunky R clip would be good if i can drill through the stud...
