Diff and prop

Hi, im just setting about attaching my prop to the diff and engine. Bolt wise are they just thread locked with no nuts? I was going to use the serated spring type washers on the prop to diff bolts should i do the same at the front?
Cheers
Adam

I have just threadlocked mine in without using any special washer. The diff bolts are M10, 1mm fine pitch bolts.

I just used the diff bolts with thread lock, no washers as per sierra.

The prop to engine adapter I used 12.9 grade cap head bolts with lock washer and thread lock. Rescued attachment Prop to engine adapter.JPG

The tippex line is a good little tip. After my wishbone fell off at speed, I went round the car with a tippex pen (5 for £1 from the local pound shop) and marked the lines on all the nuts and bolts. A quick pre-blat check now takes minutes....
