Touratech Pro 2 pannier cradle fitting - advice sort.

[Ranger63]

Hello, I am about to fit the Touratech pannier luggage cradles and top box bracket to my GS LC. I am sure I have read somewhere that you need to apply some Loctite thread lock however I cannot find out if this is correct, what grade/type of thread lock and which bolts I apply it to. The instructions do not mention thread lock and I have asked Touratech who told me they think you need to apply thread lock but not sure what type/grade or which bolts require it. I know there is a video on Youtube which demonstrates how to fit the pannier cradles (all very straight forward it would seem) and it does make note of using thread lock and anti seize but (as one person has written a comment on at the end) it does not tell you where to use these products.

Can any one help?

Cheers.

I've got Pro 2 fitted to my LC. Just bolted it all together very loosely to start with and then tightened everything up to the specified torque settings. No thread lock used and they've been fine for best part of a year of use with nothing coming loose as yet.
