rear caliper body bolts

[chiphead]

82 GS 1100G. The two bolts that hold the rear caliper body together were a bugger to get out but I noticed there didn't seem to be any thread lock on them and no lock washers of any type. Struck me as odd because if these loosen you'll lose pressure to the rear brakes. What did you folks that have rebuilt your rear caliper do on re-assembly? Loctite or just torque the beejeebees out of them?

Torque to the manuals specs.
I just love to use my torque sheet. Gotta love a good torque wrench\\/

Yeah, me too. Just torqued to spec. Anyone else have an opinion?

Just retorqued mine too and just fine.

I've built race and rally cars for years and, as a consequence, all brake and suspension components get a drop of loctite or a split pin (if there's room for one) on the bolt / nut.
Makes me feel safer when I squeeze the brake lever or press the pedal in an emergency.
