That's not what I was asking, at all.

I've installed WBs with bolts. I'm asking about the SOCKET TAB hold down, pictured in the link. What it looks like from the link is that the bolt goes through the WB and theres a nut on the bottom of the block. But if that is the case, the thumbnut on top will just turn the whole bolt, and the nut on the bottom, and the system will not tighten/loosen.

Has anyone used the system in this link? How does it work for you?

This is similar to having standoffs on the motherboard with a MCW462 mount, where the standoffs go through the MB holes and screw into a nut, and unless you glue them theres nothing preventing the standoffs fom just turning along with the screw you try to screw into them, and not tightening.

Unfortunatly even with superglue, the glue just breaks if you try and get the screw securely into the standoff.
