can i use that on turbocharger?

You can get the whole line of Loctite products at Canadian Tire.

Be aware though that some of them are permanent - and that means permanent ... I think you would want the not-so-permanent type in case you need to disassemble your system for some reason. IIRC red loctite is permanent, blue not.

he meant thread sealant, not threadlock and i dont think i saw any thread sealant at ct.

Thread sealant / thread lock - Loctite's description of their 5xx product line is essentially the same as their 242 and 271 ... except the 242 and 271 have been tested to mil spec standards and are identified as designed for the automotive industry ... in any event both are labelled as "sealants" and "lockers."

If you really want the 5xx over the 2xx you could probably get it at an industrial supply house like Cisco on Dixie.

I got mine from brafasco, it was not cheap tho! I recall having severe sticker shock when i went to the cash.

Nice Leo... I'm picking up an oil cooler kit shortly as well... Pics of the install would be sweet!

are those "ignited" gauges? If so, they are absolute junk. Company has great support, kept sending me replacements free of charge, but they never worked or stopped working after a couple of months. gave up and went with autometer

How will you hide all those bolts?


RE: wrc rally replica build thread - ANTHONYD - 01-21-2012

Maybe he's going for the "beyond thunder dome" look?


RE: wrc rally replica build thread - hardk0re - 01-21-2012

I assume they are there just until the panel adhesive cures, then removed and everything gets cleaned up by the body shop Smile


RE: wrc rally replica build thread - Flofocus - 01-21-2012

ahhh...that makes sense.

nope, not by bodyshop. i m doing it.

and yes, i used screws to hold panels until adhesive gets cured because of the temperature.
