As a lot of new brake bolts come with a splodge of stuff on them now, loctite would do fine just depends on what one you use.

Trying to get axles back on the
S2 but dont have the locktabs for the brake back plates...putting an order into Paddicks soon but will take ages to get here so whats your thoughts on using locktite instead just want to get it back to a rolling chassis locktite has come on a long way since 59 when they used tabs..

Blue if you ever want to undo them, red if not.

I might be wrong, but if you look at the contents I think it will be red liquid or blue...but I think that while blue might sometimes be green, red will always be red, if you see what I mean.

Thanks for that will see what I've got might still be a bit of label left to get number off...but I reckon going to use it and forget the locktabs that connect 2 bolts together they seem old tech now..
