Jim,
I asked my metric parts place if there were any "high temp" nylocs and they said they hadn't heard of any. Some come in brown, some in blue, some in white. These guys import their hardware directly so you'd think they would have. They are probably wrong on this but it does make me wonder.
Do you think I could test both kinds of nuts with a heat gun and compare their melting point or something?
