Quoted from spinal:
vid1900,
Q1: Do you "use Loctite 245 when reattaching screws to the Flipper Stop Assembly, the Solenoid Bracket, and the Flipper Bushing" (as recommended in my MM manual 2-15).
Q2: Notice Marco only has Locktite 242 - is this the same stuff?
Q3: In MM manual 2-15, 6-32 Hex nuts for flipper bushings don't look like backing lock nuts. What are best nuts to use here?
(Thanks)

245 is somewhat stronger than 242. Both are rated for removal with normal hand tools, supposedly, so you should be able to get away with using 242. I'd check the parts after a week or so to make sure it's really holding, but I doubt that 242 would fail you in this, if used properly.

NOTE: Wipe any remnants of old locktite off the screw before applying new stuff.

OP
Quoted from vid1900:
245 is an odd use, BLUE (Medium) Loctite, I've never seen it at a HW store in the States.

That's the normal BLUE Loctite you can buy anywhere.
Just use the 242, I'm sure for pinball purposes, it'll be fine.

After looking around, I'm not sure 245 is available in retail channels. I think you only get that if you're an industrial user.
