I am looking at the Moss catalog Fall/Winter 2007.  On page #8 item #95 is a
Tab Washer that goes under two bolts and then is bent up to retain them.
The part number is: 837-560 @$1.90ea.

  To All,
   I was the originator of the original question about using locktite. The
reason that I asked was that there wasn't any locking tabs or lock washers
in place when the flywheel was removed, just four bolts. I have looked in
the Bentley Manual, the Haynes manual, TRF's red book, Moss's catalog and
Victoria British's catalog and none of them show anything but four bolts
holding the flywheel to the crankshaft. No other locking mechanisms are
shown. I just wondered if it would be prudent to use locktite in this
situation and if so Red or Blue. This is for a rebuild of a TR250 motor.

  Maybe I am missing something. Are you guys assembling the flywheel without
lock tabs? I don't understand what Locktite is going to do for a properly
torqued bolt with a properly installed lock tab.
