Claim 0:
1. A bolted joint, comprising:
a bolt including a shank having a first end, a second end, an enlarged head adjacent to the second end, and a first external thread proximate to the first end, the bolt extending through a first member and a second member, respectively, between the enlarged head against the first member and the first external thread extending outward from the second member;
an anchor nut including a first open end, a second open end, a radial bearing surface between the first open end and the second open end, a head between the radial bearing surface and the first open end, a second external thread between the radial bearing surface and the second open end, a first dimension from the radial bearing surface to the second open end, and a first hole extending through the anchor nut from the first open end to the second open end, the first hole comprising a first internal thread;
a locknut including a first side, a second side, a second dimension from the first side to the second side, a second hole extending through the locknut from the first side to the second side, the second hole comprising a second internal thread, and the second dimension greater than the first dimension;
the first internal thread threaded on the first external thread, the anchor nut extending outward to the first open end from the second open adjacent to the second member;
the second internal thread threaded on the second external thread, the locknut between the radial bearing surface and the second member and tightened, the locknut extending from the first end tightened against the radial bearing to the second end outboard of the second open end; and
the first external thread and the first internal thread twist in a first direction, the second external thread and the second internal thread twist in a second direction different from the first direction, the first member and the second member clamped between the head against the first member and the second side of the locknut against the second member, and the locknut clamped between the radial bearing surface and the second member.
