Reply to "alternative to saftey wire"

Lloyd Butfoy (Guest)

When I did my 12 years of Gearbox building on Indy car teams, I was lucky to talk to all the top Engineers from Hewland,Getrag,Extrac and so on, All said and still say with a big tag on the ring gear, DO NOT RE-USE OLD RING GEAR BOLTS
The big reason is the strech from the torque.
So after time they will back out, or the head pop's off. Race cars and Aeroplanes, you Loctite and saftey wire everything. There alot of short cuts to doing it right, but you end up paying more in the end. Just my two cents. Lloyd Butfoy
