I was thinking of putting a couple of drops of locktite in for next week, but does anyone has any tips on how to keep it secure without screwing it down to hard?
thanks

Hi Jon, just use a tiny bit of locktite to help keep the screw secure. If you are using a direct servo horn, crashes will cause vibrations throughout the steering system and screws will eventually back out, so it is best to locktite ALL of the screws in that area. Makes sure to use a mild version of whatever brand you choose, as I am sure you would want to be able to remove the screws in the future.
