Title: Hardeware Question
Post by: Sanger75 on July 08, 2012, 10:47:12 AM

Hey guys I just bout a 75 Sanger and am replacing the bolts around the droop snoot on my jet because they are all rusted. So I was wondering if I should put locktite or silicone on them when I put them in or if there was something better? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Replace them with stainless bolts and the rust problem is gone

Thanks for the information. I already got the stainless steel bolts and washers. So just the antiseize is good?
