Default Dust Shield
I am putting the front spindle assemlbies back together on my 1971 resto. The locking tabs on the shield which secure the larger retaining bolt have fatigued and broken away. Will I be alright with Threadlocker Blue, or is there a better way to secure this bolt?

Mike,
Use the 271 red and it should be ok or buy a new shield. Don't forget the felt ring at the base of the spindle.
