I love the bit about "Genuine Aircraft bolts!" My career is maintaining planes btw.
..."with nylon lock nuts." They don't get used much on planes because vibrations degrade the nylon and defeat the locking feature. Instead, swaging the end of the nut to make an interference fit works out better....and it appears that's what the lock nuts in your picture are.
