   it depends on 2 things,
   
   how much you want the dash to vibrate
   
   and how much loctite you own....

   Whats this about loctite, do they come loose or something?

   Adz (crawley vts bloke) had some, went out in it and the vibration was mad! I'm pretty sure he has gone back to the old ones now.

   What do you mean by mad?
   
   So your sitting in the car and what? The dash is going mental? What happends when you start driving does it go?

    limits engine movement so when you go round corners its not bouncing around as move. so better response
