While some have replaced the O-rings of standard MS designation with Viton for heat resistance, there is a lot of mass to dissapate heat in the calipers. Nice to add protection, but the caliper manufacturers seem to mostly use nylock and proably have a good idea the heat stress for those nuts. -sent from the I-droid implanted in my forearm On Mon, Oct 3, 2016 at 6:30 AM, eagerlee wrote: > > We replaced all the nylok nuts at the brake calipers with high temperature > lock nuts for the very reason you stated - things could get HOT sometimes. > Paul Hahn > N82FF > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=460906#460906 > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
