[Healeys] Threadlocking Armstrong Shock Bolts

[Tom Felts]

Anyone ever tried Nordlock washers.  We had a big discussion about them being used with exhaust manifolds on E-Types.  They are VERY heat and vibration resistant----might work on the shock mounts.

I use blue Permatex with hardened ('grade 8') flatwashers under the bolt heads.  They never come loose--the hardened 
flatwashers exert greater clamping force (more surface area for same PSI)--and the threadlocker adds insurance. Plus, 
you're clamping a larger portion of the shock surface for more strength.  Torque to 35ft-lbs.
