Steve Dold Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I can't remember ever seeing locktite used anywhere in an airframe structure, it's been either a self-locking nut, castle nut/cotter pin, or safety wire, or some other mechanical means like a bendable tab. Or nothing, as in a lot of engine parts. That's a weird one, seeing connecting rod bolts and nuts with nothing to keep them on but the friction and torque they were install with. And it lasts for a couple of thousand engine hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
