Loctite 272

[Sonex1517]

Hey all

So I need to use Loctite 272 on my flywheel gland nut, and both the manufacturer and several distributors say it is not available. They also said there is no equivalent.

I find this hard to believe. I know a couple of others have recently needed this stuff. Anyone have a source or an alternative?

I did get Loctite 270 but it has a lower rating

I bought some at my local auto parts store. I do not plan on using it again for a long time and If I do I will buy new so it is fresh. I think it cost $14.00. I am happy to send it to you today via USPS priority mail. No cost to you. I just ask that this one makes the rounds to anyone who wants it. Just let me know. It will take a few days to get to you. The same goes for the starter loctite. That one cost a bundle. I can send you that one at the same time.

Email sent. And I will pay it forward

The brands that I have are made by Permatex. They are equivalent products to loctite brand. I will send you both. I had to order the one for the starter. These were both surprises for me. I went through the instructions and did not find them until I needed them.

I want to say thank you to Dana, as he saved me by sending me some Loctite 272. around Chicagoland, at least, no one stocks it.

Thank you Dana!

Would this (Permatex 27200) not be an equivalent product? $9 on Amazon.

That is what I sent to Robbie along with the Permatex 262. I do not plan on using it on anything else yet. They are only used on the gland nut and starter bolts. The 2 bottles were well over the 5 dollars it cost to ship USPS Priority mail. I figure it can make the rounds to anyone who needs it until it is empty.
