[Healeys] Tightening bolts

[Jean Caron]

I use "never seize" all the time and never any loosening issues. I use it on the threaded part only and don't use a ton of it, remember that the countersunk part also help keeping the bolts in place.

Subject: [Healeys] Tightening bolts


I had to loosen the bolts attaching the hinges on my BT7 the other day. 6 of them turned quite easily after some fairly hefty initial work. One needs a couple of whacks with an impact driver to get it started and one was just plain loose.

So, now I want to tighten them up. Plainly, I want to be able to undo them again at some time or other….

Does the team think that something like Coppaslip (or whatever it’s called) is a good idea. Half of me says, “Use it. You’ll be able to tighten them up that little bit more while still being able to undo them later”.

And the other half says, “Don’t use it. It will enable the bolts to loosen themselves off.”

Which half of me is right???

Thanks,

Simon
