if you really want to be safe use double nuts or NYLOK nuts on each bolt/stud where you are using removable weights--- you can also use bolts with a hole drilled in it and put a spacer(few washers) run the nut down tight then put a hairpin clip(cotter pin) thru the hole to keep the nut from backing off--REALLY -If you follow NHRA guidelines and use the required bolts etc. you should be OK do not understand why they do/would not accept that method ------weight boxes are for "loose"" ballast like bags of lead shot, loose lead bars etc.iron pieces--.not something that is "securely" fastened down
