Hey Folks,
I'm new to tbn but i am very interested in getting a 110 but this issue about the housing cracking has me a bit concerned. It seems that the cause is the loosening of these large structural bolts. I certainly understand and agree with the torque striping of the bolt heads to be able to identify when the bolt is backing out but,,,, did anyone ever try using Loctite to keep the bolts from backing out in the first place. You could even use one of the more aggressive Loctite products whereby it's almost impossible to get out which i think would be fine since you would almost never have a need to remove these bolts. Just a thought.

Blue Loctite is good stuff, but red is better!
A mechanic friend once told me to only use red.
He said, if you don't want it to come apart, use something that will keep it from coming apart... red!
