I'm fitting an italian campag record cartridge BB.
I tried fitting it first of all with grease, and found that the spindle had some slight resctricted motion after tightening the non drive side fully. The campag manual mentions this might happen, and if so to apply loctite and tighten less (the non-drive side).
So I've degreased it, applied loctite 243, and tightened till just befor ethe resticted motion, but it seems quite far from fully tight; about 2 revolutions.
Does this seem reasonable?
Thanks for any advice.
