#1: Overtighten Nuts Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 9:52 am ---- Basically was fitting my new brakelight today and think I may have over tightened the nut on 1 of the bolts because as I heard a slight creak noise and noticed the light sits slightly off the norm
#2: Re: Overtighten Nuts Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 9:59 am ---- super glue it?
#3: Re: Overtighten Nuts Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 10:03 am ---- im hoping i haven't broke the plastic which holds the bolts in, arrodite should do the trick though if I have or i'll just buy a new 1

Best - I'd say solder and shrink tubing...
I went with crimp connectors (inline tube style) and that's been fine for 7 years now...
