Fabric coupling bolts

[Nick Turley]

Hi All

I've just taken the engine out of the RK, preparing to fit a reconditioned gearbox soon to be collected from Andy Bird (thanks Andy!).

I managed to fit Nyloc nuts on the fabric coupling when I last put the propshaft on but I'm not happy with the limited amount of nylon being held by the bolt and the fact the nuts are very close to the handbrake ratchet and adjuster. I find the complex tab washer and split pin arrangement a bit cumbersome.

I'm wondering if using the original half nuts with thread lock is acceptable?  What does everyone use here?

Cheers

Howard

A spring washer does it for me Howard, many miles done. Never come loose.
