Loctite

[troppo]

I now have my new Braaap LE bike, what type of Loctite do I use for the bolts? As I'm going to strip it down and loctite all the nuts and bolts....

Well just get some heat resistant loctite, that way it will be fine to use on the engine bolts and frame bolts.

buy the blue loctite designed to enable the bolts to be removed again
cant remember the number but they often have a chart on what number to get , can buy the different grades at a bearing suppplies , places like bunnings arent much good

do not buy the super strength stuff

edit after spending about 10 mins on the loctite site what a POS

Loctite 243 is what you require
medium strength oil tolerant

Is it heat resistant for engine bolts?

 

[johnnie5]

i dunno what engine bolts you are planning on using it on but any bolts i have used them on in the past havent fallen out including engine case bolts

Thanks, I'll get some at the weekend. Thanks Jonnie5 for going to the trouble of getting the code for me! That'll make life easier.....
