Abstract

A bolt retainer (10,110) for holding bolts (22,23,122,123) against rotation consists of a flat plate (12,112) having two or more bolt holes (18,20,118,120) therethrough and an upstanding portion (14,114). Specifically configured bolts (22,32,122,132) have surfaces (28,128) that abut the upstanding portion (4,114) thereby preventing rotation of the bolts (22,32,122,132) upon applying a nut (46) thereto.
