TTII Centercaps I just wondered if anyone else had problems with screws from the centercaps backing themselves out from daily driving. If so what did you do? I thought some loctite might do the trick. However, it seems like there are so many different types of loctite what kind did yall use?
Here is the Loctite that I bought is this what you guys would use??? Is this going to do the trick?

Never had that problem with my TTII's in the 5 years I've had them on.
You would want to use either the Loctite Removable Threadlocker #242 (Blue) or the Small Screw Threadlocker #222 (Blue).
I would still check them periodically any way - these are not permanent or hi temp threadlocker compounds and the wheel center will get hot after doing alot of sprited driving/braking so they might loosen up eventually.

I've had the same problem... I lost a couple of screws from this also. I spoke with someone from AR about the missing screws and they sent me a ton of extras in a box. The new ones were longer and I didn't have another problem.
I did loctite them once but the problem with that was I used the extra strength stuff and then couldn't get them out when I needed to have the wheels rebalanced. Use very little or the blue loctite (I think the weakest one is blue) and you should be ok

Loctite 
hmmm....i had a problem with the screws not wanting to thread in. they were really tight, and when i would try to tighten them the hex heads on them would just round off. had to go to home depot and get some flat head 8/32 screws to replace like 6 of them that had rounded off.......
