Question Windage Tray Nuts ?

I'm swaping out my TB SS Oil pan for an F body Pan, question they use Locking Nuts to bolt the Wingage Tray on 1) can I reuse them and 2) if so should I be using lock-tite on the studs

Thanks, Tony

Yes, nuts are reusable. I just torque them to spec, but you could use blue Locktite w/o any problems...

Old thread,,,,I know these are top lock nuts. Not a good idea to re-use. Where can you buy them? Anyone have the part #?

I reused mine with no problem. They don't really have any stress on them all the stress is on the main caps.
