Loose passing lamp bracket

[Bert2006]

After my last two rides I found that the left side bolt holding my pasing lamps on was working its way loose. I would simply re-tighten while being carefull so not to strip head. Well today afer a 6 hour run it completely worked itself out. For some reason it did not fall out but it was completely treaded out.

 

Will be using blue lock-tight this time but I am amazed that it would keep working its way loose. This has never happenned before, but I did have to remove the lamps a few times this winter to do my LED conversion. Oh well, another thing to watch for.

Be VERY careful with that loctite, even the fumes can eat plastic...

Poli-Grip will hold like loctite without being detrimental to your plastic parts.

A little silicone RTV also works well near plastic

Super glue can work also. RTV is a good bet though. If you want to do it up good drill some small holes in it and safety wire.
