Moser 12 Bolt with what tq arm?

i was looking at bmr website about there tq arms, and they recommended to check the mount bolts frequently on the rear end when using their tq arm. Mostly due to the bolts not going all the way thru the rear. Has anyone had problems with theirs or other tq ams backing out the bolts on their 12 bolt?

I searched the TGO boards for anyone posting with this problem and came up empty.

After reading on the BMR site- am I understanding correctly that Moser threads the TA mount holes and has the TA bolts thread into the rear housing? Not using a lock nut or any nut?
That is a pretty lame idea if that is what is going on.

I suppose if that is the case, perhaps the bolt heads could be drilled and wired to prevent them from coming loose. Maybe.

I have a 12 bolt- not in yet- and it takes standard bolts and lock nuts like stock.

I may just do that. drill a hole thru the center of the bolts and then just safety wire them. i am a professional safeywirer!!!! i work on military helicopters and everything is safetywired or cotter keyed. good idea!!

Cool- let us know if it works. I can't imagine why it wouldn't.
The BMR site specifically mentions that Loc-tite may not be a final answer. Must be some serious vibrations or wiggling.

Also- welcome back home (from Iraq).
