MAXIMUM THREAD DEPTH
The depth of the thread for the M8 fasteners in the radome radar is
20mm maximum tightened to a
torque load of
22Nm (see illustration above). In general, unless otherwise stated, the absolute
minimum engagement depth for fixings is 1.5 x diameter.
IMMERSIBLE BREATHER HEAD
The breather head protects the system against air pressure build up within the radome
whilst preventing water ingress.
The maintenance free breather is a factory fitted component and MUST NOT be
painted, pierced, covered or removed.
ANTI-CORROSION PASTE/ GREASE
Lightly grease the
threads of the mounting
bolts prior to fitting using
the tube of grease
provided in the fitting kit.
If this is not available,
the preferred material
for the grease is
Molybdenum Disulphide
(Kelvin Hughes part
