271(tm) is obsolete, according to the "Loctite User's Guide" I got at the
bearing shop while picking up bearings for my airplane's nose gear.
262 replaces it. They recommend Primer N first, and to use 277 if it's
over 1" diameter.
Here is a table from page 8, Loctite Threadlocker Quick Selector
Use Strength Product Color
-------------------------------------------------
Small screws Low 222 Purple
nuts & bolts Med 242(tm) or 243 Blue
Pre-Assembled Med 290 Green
Nuts & Bolts High 262 Red
Studs (<1") High 262 Red
Studs (>1") High 277 Red
They also list a large variety of stuff for restoring stripped threads, sealing
pipe fittings, gaskets, setting keys, rustproofing and so on.
Not to sound like a Loctite ad, but you can call 800 323 5106 for "product
availability, technical information and material safety data sheets".
THe brocure I have is "LT-1475".
("Preassembled" means locking adjusting screws in place, and the like)
