So I installed some replacement screws, but as you might suspect as I tightened the screws down, the steering got bound up. I came up with a make shift solution using a small washer on the outside and some Loctite on the threads, but I'm wondering if I lost some parts when the screws backed out.

What is the preferred method to secure the steering rack to the bellcranks without inducing any bind?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Exactly the same thing happened to me on my first run- same part, same screws, both dropped out. I've simply used locktite (sp?) on the threaded end. 100 laps later and they haven't moved.
