Remote control gear shift bolt comes loose

[Plandeck]

The custom bolt fixing the remote gear shift lever to the engin body has twice unscrewed itself and come loose leaving me to operatye the shift lever manually to get home. This last time the bolt fell away and can not be found. Anybody have a solution for this?

Yep. The blue thread locker will work, and is removable if you ever want to take it apart.

ok...instead of splurging 75-cents for a nylon nut I spent the $8 on blue locktite and will see if it works. (The nylon nut because the custom bolt that accepts a screw bolt that came with the RC kit, unscrewed itself, fell out and won't be found. So I needed to modify a new bolt with metal tape around part of the shank for the larger opening in the engin casing with a normal nut, locktite treated, on the end to hold the lever arm)
