Hi Guys
I have a question what are you using to fix the hub caps to the idlers
on the PZ 111 ?
The book says use loctite but this can be a pain if you need to remove
the hub cap perhaps in the field.
But also you don't want them to drop off if the glue is not strong enough.
Over to you .
Thanks in advance
Derek

I drilled and tapped through behind two of the screw holes. The rest are cut off heads and epoxied in.

Same as Lawrence but blue loctite would both hold them and allow easy removal. Stephen

Hi Derek,
I used blue loctite and have done a lot of running hours and have removed several of them for maint purposes with no problems.
