Not a good idea on pot. too much thread surface on a standard nut. Whats wrong with speed nuts. Correct me if I`m wrong, but aren`t all the trim piece studs tapered

Some of my trim pieces have poor looking posts. I could probably just pound down speed nut flanges. Thanks.

If you have some questionable posts, rather than trying to rotate a speed nut on them, try an assortment of push on retainers. There hell to get off sometimes, but that probably wont be your problem.Aluminum body tape, if used VERY sparingly will take up some slop on threads yet is soft enough to be pliable. you just don`t want to snap off a post

They are dave i just had dumb brain thought. Brain farts are a good thing !! I have several daily. Keeps you intellectually grounded. It`s always a good thing to be able to laugh at yourself, and admit it.

I had a couple of bad posts, used electrical tape. Worked like a charm.
