D&P-OR Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Does anyone have a "trick" they use to keep the coil bolt tight on the Manticore?-----It keeps coming loose when swinging/hunting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Never had the problem myself but I'd try some plumbers Teflon tape and see how that goes locking the thread tight. Maybe your bolt or coil thread is slightly out of spec? I assume if you had another bolt from another coil you would have tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlehead Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 The one on my first Manticore kept coming loose. The one on my current Manticore doesn’t. No idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D&P-OR Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 I thought about trying Teflon tape on the bolt--guess I'll give that a try.-----My wife & I are both using the 9" (M9) coils on our Manticores and the bolts have been coming loose on both of them.

Hunterjunk Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Yep had this problem from day one . I tighten it to where I want and then pass a small cable tie through the yoke and the eye of the bolt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hunter----If the Teflon tape doesn't do the trick I'll do your cable tie solution.-----Thanks to all who responded to this---at least I know I'm not the only one that has been having this problem/inconvenience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skookum Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I have this problem as well. It doesn’t take very long before it’s loosened up too much and needs retightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenman Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I am just spitballing but has anyone tried Loctite thread locker blue? It’s made to be serviceable and not permanent but effective for high vibrations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything about compatibility with plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
