I definitely wouldn't trust Loctite, I can see heat discoloration in the mounting wings on the rotor ring. We use Resbond there. I also like to see critical components wired.

If you're using through bolts with nuts on the hats/rotors and safety wiring the bolt heads, how will that keep the nuts from loosening? Safety wiring the heads of bolts is more appropriate for blind hole applications. |

Which is why we use jet nuts as well, the loctite is extra ins. I find it somewhat humorous that you'll trust Gr5 hardware but not loctite.

At work we use only AN hardware on brake hats with AN washers, jet nuts (MS-21042), and loctite, no safety wire. Never seen one get loose in 6 years... it's the only way I'd do it personally.

Just returned from the shop trying out new brake duct ideas.
I already have big 3" scoops in the bumper from which I will run 3" ducting that will end near the roll bar end-links as I have no 3" duct plate. In between there will be a 12v marine blower which moves volumes of air so it will cool at speed as well as pit-in. |

Safety wire is the way to go. That is why it is required by several race organizations on critical fasteners, like brake hardware and oil drain plugs. My CMRA track bike has safety wire on several engine fasteners, brake fasteners, and several suspension components. You will not get through technical inspection without it. |
The Locktite people said their stuff is good up to 400 F. Not adequate for brake stuff IMO.
Sav, do you offer small bottles of Resbond? |
