About to set the rear camber, but what methods have people used to lock the half nuts... I don't fancy them coming loose..

Dan

you lock the nuts by tightening one against the other

lock a pair of half nuts on the inside of the wishbone and then tighten the 3rd nut to clamp the adjuster to the wishbone.

For ease of checking (before each drive) you can add a line of paint across each nut and the wishbone (once tight). This give s avery quick visual check to see if anything has moved.

Hello,

By my Indy when it was setup the right way. I just rolpinned the last nut...
after comming undone two times !!!???

Daniel

Loctite (green) or lockwire?

Smartripper How did you manage to drill the hole though nut and bolt bit??

Mr Whippy, thanks I realized that, but I would like a backup, it seems that quite a few people have them come lose.. I guess the large pitch of the thread does not help with getting them to lock.

Dan

Easy way of marking nuts, bolts and joins is to use one of those Snopake correcting pens.

Buy them at Staples etc.
Ink covers almost everything and sticks like nothing else.

Hello,

First i drilled the nut on a flat side,
jammed the nut on the adjuster and drilled just 5 mm deep in the tread, and put a rollpin in it.
I've i do it again then maybe lockwire is the way to go..

Daniel

I made a couple of double-tab washers; one tab is bent over a flat of the inner nut, the other over the outer nut.

Rear axle nut?

Just to second the sentiment that something should be done other than relying on the half nuts. Mine fell off a couple days ago - not very safe.

I did this after a large and important bolt fell off my old motorbike while on the dual carriageway You know that feeling when the hairs stand up on the back of your neck...
