Default No loc-tite on bolts
Byron W Byron Aluminium inserts are fine. Down side is over time the steel and aluminium corrides togeather. Add a thin coat of antoseize to the hole or bolt and they will seperate. I have seen inserts spin in the holes and drilling them out is a pain in the @$$. I do think that steel serts are for steel and aluminiums are for aluminium. Steel are a pain to put in but last for life and stay tight in their holes. I have 25 year old serts that work fine in all kinds of weather. Again no loctite. Good luck. Rick L.
