- Well I managed to break the U bolts on my TX-2 rotor. Where is the best place to get some replacements? MFJ??? I am beginning to hate SS hardware I seem to be able to break them fairly often:-( 73 Ri

- If you use an anti-seize lubricant on them, it will never happen. Stainless Steel will gall very easily if dry. Almost any waterproof grease or anti-seize on the threads will prevent this galling and

- Very true, but one caution probably should be added. Anti-seize or any other type of thread lubricant will take away much of the feedback you normally expect to get when cranking down on a nut to the

- Why not just use nylon insert ss lock nuts and forget about the lockwashers? I have yet to have a lock nut come loose. They also come off easy with a pneumatic wrench. A real pain to put on and take
