I had to replace the plastic nuts on my H-16. It seems the squirrels in my yard liked the taste of them. I bought S/S nuts with the nylon insert but the existing bolts were too short. I could thread the nuts on but they wouldn't get to the nylon so I turned the nuts around and put them on backwards. It seems to have worked alright.

Unless there's a thread and a half extending out of the nut you're over stressing the threads in the nut. Spend a couple bucks and do the job right.
