[TowerTalk] loctite on ham-4 bolts?

[Mike Bragassa]

A simple fix I have used is to put a dab or two of Dow Corning type silicon
on the bolt (and nut,  if is not a threaded-in connection like the base of a
rotor). I would not recommend to glob up these points, just a dab/two to
keep them from moving and it will clean off well enough.
