Foxhat question
This might be a stupid question but since the Foxhat spider doesn't have a tab washer post, what method do you guys use to make sure the clutch nut and tab washer doesn't loosen? If I torque the nut up correctly and bend the tabs over like usual, should I not worry about it?

I use a Schnorr washer, look them up on eBay or Ramsport
it's also what the GT clutch used and if it's good enough for that...
Turn On, Tune In, Cop out!
No need for a tab washer when fitting the Foxhat spider as it has no dowel to locate on, instead I locktite the nut and fit a spring washer underneath I think they are called former washers similar to those used on the end plate.wrekkah wrote:This might be a stupid question but since the Foxhat spider doesn't have a tab washer post, what method do you guys use to make sure the clutch nut and tab washer doesn't loosen?

good thing with the spider and nut is there is little or no movement between the parts, as the clutch spider and mainshaft fit together onto a spline the nut just keeps them together so once secured with the spring washer and locktite there not normally going to undo.
Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated.
