    English cwp bolts

    Hi all, wondering if anyone had some advice on the best way to secure the cwp bolts on an English diff? I’ve got a set of crossflow arp flywheel bolts to use but was wondering what people are using to threadlock them? Can’t really wire them since the bolts are a bit of a bugger to modify. Thanks.

    just torque them up correctly, its pointless wiring them anyway, if the come even slightly loose they will shear

    Guess you win quickest reply of the day :-). Thanks for the info, had a couple of mates where they have come a little loose and they mentioned that they were having trouble keeping them in place.

    one possibility is that the crown wheels are a tight fit on the diff and thus dont seat properly until they have had some use, then once they bed down the bolts are no longer torqued correctly. i warm the crown wheel up to expand it to make sure it seats properly on the diff
