See other posts here also - LR says Loctite and JC says anti seize - I'm going with JC unless anyone has a good reason not to ! ?

Thanks !

Have never heard of anyone with a GOOD reason not to go with JC.

Thanks Rick and Gavin,

That was my reasoning too!

Any particular anti seize better?

I was planning on using a Nickel type eg Permatex Nikel Anti Seize. Or is a copper based better?

Cheers
Simon

I'd just use what you have to hand, in my case it's a Loctite nickel based one.
Nickel or copper is more to do with the metals involved and in theory I'm guessing copper would be the go between steel and cast iron, but either would be fine.
In future remember definitely nickel if aluminium was involved.
