    Help...can't find loctite 603

    I can't find loctite 603 to use on my prop shaft and flex cable. What else can I use? I don't want to solder it up. Looked at walmart and pep boys. All I found was red high strength loctite that might work or blue or green stuff of loctite too in the small tubes.

      Don't want to order it. There is a store here that may have it. I will have to call. Is there an alternative?

        Yes. If you have a NAPA auto parts, they carry this.



        I just used it on a .130 cable & a .098 cable, and it works great!

          Right from the OSE tips page on assembly of a flex shaft, it has the following text...

            I picked up the Permatex stuff at an Advance nearby today for 6 bucks and change.
