Mark, in my opinion Red Thread Locker or JB Weld should not be used in this
application to compensate for bad threads. Especially JB Weld.
There are plenty of used TR 6 Trailing Arms available that are in good
condition. The replacement is one of the easier jobs to do on the cars as
well. If you replaced the hub your skills are sufficient to replace the
trailing arm too.
Call Scott Harper at Team Triumph in Warren Ohio and I feel confident that
he has a usable and in good condition arm and can UPS it to you in a few
days. His number is 330-392-7176. There well may be closer folks to you as
well. Do it right the first time and forget about it from then on.

Subject: [TR] TR6 Rear Hub question
> My first post. After putting my new used hub on I see that two of the six
nuts will not tighten on the brake backing plate. I understand they are to
be tightened to 10 foot pounds only. One of the bolts pulls all the way out
and the nut on the one next to it continues to turn without tightening. A
friend said that JB weld would be fine or evern Red thread locker. Any
thoughts as to using these options verses Heli Coil for the fix. It doesnt
seem that there is lots of pressure on these bolts that two left untightened
would hurt anything. Thanks
