tighten it up a bit more and maybe a lockwasher. Or, you could get a longer bolt and put a nylock on the other end as you may have ovaled the cast aluminum makingthe threads near useless. | ||

The '07 manual calls for loctite. | ||

+2 on safety wire | ||

One thing coolice knows about is safety wire. His safety wire is safety wired.  Sorry Mike I couldn't pass it up! PS how do you safety wire the 'nut' on the seat? | ||

RED Loctite. The blue was not strong enough and mine kept backing out. Mark the location of the bolt head with a dot and look once in a while to make sure it is not backing out. The little plastic inserts tend to wear out, and I think they facilitate the bolt to back out when they are worn, just a theory. | ||

All good Roger, parts loose on the track don't make it to the podium! |
