[TR] Grade 2 lock nuts

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

I believe that those bolts have a ground shank of an exact length so that they act as dowel pins. I would use at least a grade 5 nut. If you can’t find locknuts, I don’t see why some red Loctite wouldn’t work. A free driveshaft, whipping around in its tunnel at speed, would probably be a negative experience.

I need to replace the lock nuts uses to hold the diff flanges to the drive shafts on my stag. Can I use grade 2 nuts? Granger has some on clearance. I'm assuming basic nuts and bolts used Triumphs were grade 3 .
