ABSTRACT:
A bolting system secures its nuts with locking pins and securing portions. The first and second bolts extend through a surface in the same general orientation, wherein each of the bolts has a threaded end. First and second nuts are engaged with the bolts' threaded ends. Each nut has a nut wall with a threaded inner surface, an opposing outer surface, and a pin insertion hole radially extending at least partially through the nut wall from the outer surface. First and second locking pins are disposed in the pin insertion holes, each pin having a top portion that extends beyond the outer surface. The top portion has at least one aperture extending therethrough. A first securing portion extends through the first locking pin aperture and is secured around the first nut outer surface. A second securing portion extends through the second locking pin aperture and is secured around the second nut outer surface. A third securing portion is secured through the apertures of the first and second pins.
