[QUOTE="oexing, post: 104848, member: 1493"] That Loctite type should be great but you could get any copper or MoS2 Molycote grease for better price and no problem with these on stainless fasteners. Aluminium is not so much of a problem for stainless but stainless bolts in stainless nuts is critical as no plating is there like zinc or cadmium on standard fasteners. The plating acts as lubricant so that is the reason why stainless requires some extra lubricant in ALL cases. In places where you don´t like some grease an application of Loctite acts as lubricant so you don´t get seizure within the threads. I use stailess on my bikes for many decades , no troubles , never. Helicoil had huge global success with their coil thread repair sets for spark plug thread as most drivers do not lubricate plugs for alu heads so they get "friction welding" within the threads without lubrication.
