Instead of Loctite, try putting a second grub screw in the thread and tighten on to the first.

Took the grub screw out and wasnt what i expected. The grub screw uses the same thread that the upright screws into and tapers down to a thinner end that goes into a hole drilled ij the bars itself. Need to be really careful with the loctite to make sure you dont get it on the upper prt of the thread were the upright screws into

Medium (blue) loctite is what you want.

I have done a cheapo diy (my style) loctite option on tempest screws, and others and it's worked great.
A little smear of nail varnish works well. Maybe not for high stress applications but for normal stuff it's an easy option.

If you happen to be doing a TEMU order (free post if you spend £15, which is easy to do if you want to stock up on anti-tangle sleeves, bait screws, etc etc) ... then I bought some of this
LINKY POO™ https://www.temu.com/search_result.html?search_key=loctite&search_method=user
I used it on my Tempest as quite a few of the screws worked loose, not sure if it's worked yet, as only done it last week...

As you mentioned try some proper loctite thread loc first. Think the green 270 is the strongest version and what i used when i needed it. Pinched mine from the stores at work as its not cheap. If i can find it you can borrow it as its in the garage some where and i will stick it in the post. Just send it back when you have used it.

Thought id scratch the itch and give these a go. Always had solar bankwear before. Really happy with the way they are working out so far.
My issue is though, the bar keeps working loose from the middle buzz bar fixing, so the outer uprights have play back and forth, only a little but it obviously gets worse over time. There is a 5 or 6 mm hex head grub screw inside, which can be tightened, but ive done this twice now and it keeps working loose again.
Has anyone had this? I assume the grub screw can be fully removed and a bit of loc tight applied? Or is this an issue to to to the manufacturer with? In which case, is it korda? Or do i go straight to jag as they manufacture them?
Cheers
