shipbadger Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Veering slightly OT but seeing the mention of locking compound, clear nail varnish is all I've ever used on things like crankpin nuts. I suppose you could use other colours if you are going to paint them afterwards but I'm of an age when I feel uncomfortable rummaging around in ladies cosmetics in the shop choosing nail varnish colours . Perhaps that should be just showing my age :-) Tony Comber 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I've mentioned this before, but in the mid-60s I joined Pye Telecom in Cambridge as an apprentice. Ordinary varnish (think diy) was used to lock threads, then Loctite (NOT) superglue!) became available instead. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnj Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Ok making slow progress with my JudithEdge 165DS, just built the radiator casing now for my first handrails on the front. Any tips for handling and fixing the tiny handrail knobs? And also fixing the door handles on the engine casings? many thanks martin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_mcfarlane Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 On mine I waited until the bonnet was assembled before fitting the door handles. The holes are opposite each other, so you can thread a single length of wire through the casing, solder in place, bend the ends down and cut to length. It's a lot easier than fiddling with little bits of wire. I think this might have been suggested in the instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
