[Mgs] loctite question

[Barney Gaylord]

In that application the nut is not bearing directly on the shims.  A 
nut bearing directly on a thin shim will destroy the shim as the nut 
is tightened.  If you are going to shim a nut for rotation reference, 
you need a hard flat washer between nut and shim, and the washer 
should be keyed so it doesn't rotate.
