Oceanzide 10 Report post ID: #1 Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) I planned to replace synchros this weekend, but found a mangled locking plate behind nut on "output shaft". I'm guessing this plate used to have a tab - the one I found stuck to the magnet on drain-plug. The locking plate is simply not available. The nut is a bit loose but mangled plate prevents it from turning. I'm thinking of just putting everything back together, as is, but wondered: perhaps I can purchase another nut and lock the two together? I also read that someone FOUND this nut "lock-tight"ed. Any suggestions? Edited September 29, 2019 by Oceanzide Typo in title, add/reposition image, generalize the title instead of starting new thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zed Head 2,203 Report post ID: #2 Posted September 16, 2019 Thread locker is reasonable. Blue should work. You could also cut a few slots in the edges of the washer and create your own locking tab. i'd do both. The problem with a second nut, a jam nut, is that it will need to be locked also. What if it comes loose and works its way off? You could try to find a big self-locking nut, Nylok-type, as the second nut. Probably expensive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
