2° wedge

« **on:** September 24, 2014, 03:21:44 PM »

I'm going to be installing a 2° wedge I have seen angled washers are they needed or can I get away with using regular and lock washers I have also heard I can use rtv instead of a gasket any advice would be appreciated

Plastic wedges don't need a gasket

Why bummer? Does that mean I need to use gaskets

yes.
And also a stud kit. Don't use the bolts that thread into the bowl u could easily strip the threads on the bowl because of the angle

I have a plastic 2* I used gaskets an went slightly longer bolts. Just snug em up. I tried a 3 with same deal but a 4 would be best with angled washers. If you plan on constantly making changes...studs would be the way to go.

They need to seat all the way in bowl and should have at least a few threads showing after mounted up with nuts/flat washers. Its cheap to just buy a long enough threaded ss rod an cut them to fit.

Blue Loktite on the stud to bowl and yes should be bottomed out. The Loktite keeps then from siezing in the bowl. I don't like lock washers on stainless. I use stainless steel aircraft nuts and thread sealant and stainless washers. 316 if you can find them.
