Title: what to put on my threads ?
Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on March 27, 2012, 09:33 PM: Just a quick one - bolts and there threads - the blue drip dot - stop lock or ?

just looked and i see stop lock is red ?

it's for the bolts on my calipers - they do come loose and i just thought that stop lock would do the trick

so what do i need ?

cheers B ;)

Never had an issue with them coming loose though

Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on March 28, 2012, 10:33 AM: these bolt were bought separately and used instead of short bolts - but they don't have any blue lock on them - the braking caliper is just making them come a bit looser - so hence i need some

oldschoolace - i will just have a quick look in the shops first but thanks for the offer mate - might have to take you up on it yet ;)

Post by: fugazi on March 28, 2012, 04:38 PM: Removable brake mounts suck >:( as the others have said get some Blue semi permanent thread lock in there.
