Vin & Ken, I suggest you try 'Clear Nail lacquer' as a locktite type substitute, as well as the 'nylock nut'. It's cheaper. See pic. for another idea for your prob. re; the alt. brg. being too loose and not being able to adjust the springs correctly. A brake band, that is adjusted via the wing nut. I have to adjust mine when it gets wet or I use the big E/Pc.
HTH.
