I need to fit some sintered bronze bushing into aluminium plate, the parts
are a good interference fit but I thought some loctite would not go astray
either. Any information I have found so far on the on the web suggests that you
coat the parts with loctite and then press fit together, but I would think this
would scrape any adhesive from the joint and there would be no bond, unless
tehy are relying on the loctite soaking into the bush and bonding that way.
Loctite 603 I think is the one to use as it is specially formulated for oily
surfaces. The only other option I can think of is to make the bush slightly
thinner than the plate and fill around the edges with loctite.
