Harv's FED thread

[Dr Terry]

Silly question time Harv. Did you use a Loctite (or similar) sealant on the NPT threads ?

Also, thinking about long-term serviceability I would be fitting flexible hoses on the calipers, before you go much further. I can hear a lot of cussing every time you need to repair anything associated with the rear axles or brakes. On racecars that occurs a lot.

Probably should have used the hydraulic Loctite, but didn't. I've never used it on all the NPT stuff I've built.

Good advice on the hoses (the FED chassis guy said the same thing).

Cheers,
