Loctite 270 or 2701

Postby Dog Tyred » Thu Aug 30, 2007 10:37 pm

Sorry to be a pain but does anyone know where I can buy Loctite 2701 or 270 over the counter. Ive bought some stainless bolts to replace the original plated ones holding on my brake discs and the chappie recommended I use the above products to fix em in. An internet search just brings up places that only sell it via the web. :evil:

Or can anyone advise if 271 is suitable for fixing brake disc bolts in place??

Don't use 270 - it is high yield studlock :shock:


You want a low/medium-yield nutlock, that provides reasonable resistance to creeping, while providing lubrication to the stainless steel while assembling/torquing the bolts.

I would recommend Loctite 243

Nu2 - If you are stuck :shock: I can offer you an equiv to 243 which is an oil resistant removable nut grade. Am away from the office till Monday though.

Hi nu2,
I rang loctites research labs to ask a very simmular question. They told me that there is very little difference between 2701 and 270. They advised me that I could use either for the same application. I then rang BMW who advised me that If I was replacing my disc bolt, which I was, then 243 was the best option and that they use that grade themselves.

Cheers, cobbster

oh I did enjoy the battery change on mine two months ago, the myth of BMW designing their bikes by hanging the battery from the roof is very much true!
