[TowerTalk] Stainless bolts and rotors

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

They'll break, especially when inserted into a non-stainless 
environment..... ie: threads in bell housing of most all rotors.  A 
chemical reaction occurs, degrades the bolt....... a three year old can 
snap the head right off the bolts..... no problemo.....

A sure-fire way to stop this from happening is to put some sort of goo, like 
Noalox, or lithium grease, on the bolt before inserting it.  I do that on all 
my bolts on rotors, including the ones that hold the T2X rotor together.

I learned a long time ago, the hard way, how easily a stuck stainless bolt 
breaks off...and the joys of getting it out.
