Duralac?

Post by Rich H » Mon Feb 28, 2011 1:41 pm

Hey all,

I've orderd myself a tin of duralac for when I put the Esprit gearbox back on - I'm not sure what was origianlly used but the botls seem to have cream coloured residue which I assume is Duralac.
A question though: does it behave like a threadlock?

It behaves like cement.

Rightly or wrongly I don't use thread lock on bolts that I'm putting duralac onto.

Cheers,
Robin

OK ta.
I was thinking of using threadlock or Duralac, but I'll just go with Duralac

It's one of the stickiest substances known to man, after lucozade and sets like weetabix ;-)

Seriously though, old clothes required, it seems to get everywhere, especially new bright green paint work! My dark blue boiler suit just isn't the same now and I was just dipping the bolts into the pot!
