Tiger Axle Question

I have read a few posts that suggest that Loctite will not hold the axles in place and cross drilling and inserting a pin is the way to go.

Here in the staes we have Loctite red, blue and green. The red is advertized as permanent and that is a little scary.

I am open to suggestions and advice!

Rocky;

Use the red loc-tite but only after you have everything set up perfectly. If in the future, you need to readjust something, all it takes is a little heat from a MAPP gas/butane torch and "Badda Bing-Badda Boom", it comes loose.

G'day Rocky
Just as Lucien said use the red loc-tite the higher number the better.
I had 2 axles that came loose after my test running on these I pinned with a 2.5mm pin the lock-tite
Also I would suggest you put a retaining loc-tite on were the torsion bars goes into the axle shafts together with a lock-tite on the grub screws that hold the torsion bar on to the axle.
