	I just used the loctite & do up method and it's been fine.

	I didn't do mine up tight. I can actually spin mine if I grab them hard enough. I did use blue thead lock on the bolts though. Only reason why I didn't do them up really tight is because R and G tell you not to for the fork protectors as it puts strain on the plastic and I got R and G plastic paddock bobbins so just figured it would be the same for them. If you got alloy I don't think they need to be really tight either. I don't see what benefit you would get from having them really tight. Just hand tight is all you need with blue thread lock. They'll be fine

	Whatever torque is usual for your size fastener in alloy is the correct answer If they are only hand tight the fasteners which will usually be stainless will tend to flex under load and possibly loosen. Spindle protectors are not stressed in shear,they are only needing to be held in situ which nyloc nuts are perfect for. Loctite is always a wise move though whatever the torque used.
