Default Floating rotor bobbins. With or wihtout locktight?
Do the bobbins (bolts) that attach the floating rotors to the hat need Locktight?

Thanks,

On my VCI/Coleman floating rotors, I always use copper anti-seize.

It depends upon if the bolt or fastener mounts blind or captured with a jet nut (mechanically locking nut) generally speaking, alway Loctite with 272 Red, high temp. Dont over torque!

The Brembo GT replacement kit has mechanically locking nuts, but then also has locktite on the threads of the bolts.
