Deve: Are you joking about asking if anti-seize and Locktite are the same? Are you joking you were thinking of using Locktite when you had lock washers? How much was two sets of SS U-Bolts? Where did you get them custom made? Maybe I'm slow. I see you are a "restorer" so maybe you are joking? Why would you have torqued them down hard when just mocking up? Did you not send an old one or send dimensions to vendor?
"It really does make sense to replace your u-bolts due to these issues". Are you speaking of your "issue" of wrong length, no anti-seize? I would like to keep learning also, that's why I ask questions, not to be contrary.

OK Grigg, you are winning the web info by shear volume, I am out webbed. your last one has the exact words of the other in some places (seem odd?). Just give me one, I say , one web-alation from other than someone who sells U-bolts. Otherwise, I am the undisputed winner, all knowing, Inter-ballistic U-Bolt champ.
