[FWDLK] Front disc brake conversion....red loctite?

[Owen Grigg <ram300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a front disc brake conversion kit here from AAJ Brakes, everything looks really nice. The only questionable thing, to me, is using RED LOCTITE in between the adapter and spindle. As far as I know, once this adapter has red loctite on it, it will become a permanent part of the spindle. So if you were to go back to drums or whatever (probably not likely but it’s nice to have that option) your spindles are affectively useless…..unless you use heat to remove which is not recommended on steering components. There isn’t a lot of spare spindles….down here anyway. Would it be better to use a sleeve locking compound or similar which could be removed, with difficulty, if needed. Rather than using the permanent red thread loctite?

 

Anyone been through this?

 

Thanks
