Re: Flywheel Bolt locks

IMO, a little red Loctite during assembly is better than any bolt lock ever made....unless you're compelled to use them because of a restoration thing. The fact that they bend means they are reasonably soft and the LAST thing one needs under a hardened, torqued bolt is a soft washer.

Re: Flywheel Bolt locks

When they came into use Lock tite hadn't been invented yet. A star lock washer and a dab of lock tite would suffice though. Even hardened machine washers and the lock tite would be ok.
