[QUOTE="oexing, post: 137906, member: 1493"] Craig, to be open , I hate safety wires, cost me many a blood drop - but have to accept them in aviation as they are easy to check for function. But for safely locking the camplate bolt no need for that. As mentioned try a drop of mild thread locker on top windings after degreasing them and test next day. You will find the bolt will be tough for disassembling for several turns. I wonder why nobody wirelocks nyloc nuts ? They are not better than a mild to medium Loctite on a standard nut or screw. I never use nylocs anywhere, no reason to have them. There are several strengths of Loctite depending on how hard I like the locking properties. Seems to be very common on this forum that many don´t have much faith in those chemicals and prefer lots of clumsy "safety" contraptions on their bikes when there were modern invisible alternatives. Certainly I will not pretend that Loctites are suitable for all thinkable places. You have to think about disassembly sometime later so the grade of glue may be a thing or something else for no-no to liquid lockers. Vic [/QUOTE]
