For the usual Hatori type, I make sure the flange tightens up on the copper washer rather than binding up in the threads and bolt the two bits together with the supplied screws and graphite gasket. I've never used the fancy one??
Yeah it's the "fancy one" Brett. Lol.
The flange that screws into the head is fine. It's the big locking ring thingy that keeps coming loose.
I had to tighten it again yesterday, so I have logged the flight number and will see how many flights 'till it comes loose again. If I can get a consistent number of flights, I just may have check it before that number is up.
i suppose you could call it preventative maintenance.
