Is this just an other example of the Chinese lack of quality assurance? I have
seen mane examples of that in the past.
It appears to me that the "pimples" are made too deep.
I find Rohn's answer despicable. They should just send you a new set of nuts,
nuts that they checked against their own specifications.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Rohn Bolts AND nuts - won't mate
I bought the bolts from Hill Radio ... they’ve been working with Rohn... Rohn
says they’ve not changed the design of the bolts in “some time” and indeed it
is because of the need to “meet standards”. THEY say they probably will remove
the galvanizing!! So they’re aware apparently of the fact that their design
will reduce the life of the bolt itself! On the first ‘set’ (leg set) I opened,
and by the way these appear to be Chinese made as they have a “JDF” marking on
the top which a Google search says is a Chinese metal fastener maker, (they are
marked as Grade 5 also), I could not turn the nut past the point when the
dimples met the thread of the bolt. Thanks for all the comments... I’ll figure
something out.
