86 5ktq slave cyl installation problem - ideas?

[james accordino]

If the bolt fits "well", not too loosely, it shouldn't
be a problem.  How about a Nylok, mechanically crimped
nut or Loktite Blue?  I'd go with the mechanically
crimped nut myself.  A new one "never" comes loose on
it's own.  Never.  You could also use some anti-seize
with this setup.

BTW-was FAG your OEM slave?  Mine were Ate alloy
bodied and I replaced them with FTE/FAG/Dana.  Black
painted cast iron in a red box.
