Threadlock

[oreA]

Because one of the studs snapped, my fuel rail guard was only held in place with one nut/bolt which always worked itself loose after just a short drive. I've now sourced a second stud, but is it OK/advisable to use threadlock on either or both ends? If so, any advice on which strength?

Many thanks :up:

I just used nylock nuts, no problem.

RE: Studs, I would thread lock the new one in, and check the other, then nylock M8 nuts.

As for the strength, any should do?!

Thanks! So threadlock on the end of the stud in the block, and a nylock nut holding the rail guard in place.

This will help my (minor) OCD, because the existing nut is 10mm and the new nut supplied by the dealer is 13mm ensive:. I'll replace them both .

Im pretty sure they are 13mm nuts on mine so go with the dealer ones pal

Medium strength will be fine. 243.
