Im putting on a new mount today and wanted to find a how to by Chris but I cant find it.
Only reason I really wanted to take a gander at it too see if he recommended alcohol or acitone to get the screw threads clean.Plus it might be nice to print off,I thought it was a sticky but I cant find it.It was the old q tips and blue loctite method but still a helpful reminder on tourqe and what not.

Either one would do it, although acetone might be more effective. I can't think of anything that would come on the screw or mounts more than a little rust-preventative. Generally, mount screws are tightened to 15 in-lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench, using the L-shaped wrench that came with it, if you hold the short end and finger tighten as much as you can (with the SHORT end), you'll be close enough.

Reaction time is a factor...
