Anyone know which number loctite is used on the bolts that Gardiners supply? They come pre coated but once worn off spin. I've just redone mine but I think the minute they are adjusted the seal will be broken. I've used 243 but it may be the wrong one.

We have had a new bolt design available for Smart Clamps for a few months now. This new system means that when worn the levers do not need re-adjusting and stay in position throughout their life. Anyone who is experiencing the need to re-tighten on their Smart Clamps can give us a call and we will send out the new style Smart Clamp lever sets free of charge. This means there is no need for Loctite on the bolt thread.

Drop me an email Dave and I can send out the new design Smart Clamp lever sets for your clamps - just let me know how many you need.

The new design lever bolts where introduced in November to the Smart Clamp kits and have just been introduced on all poles from the 1st of February (although some sizes had them previously depending on stock age).
