Yeah there's only an upgrade for the rear telescopic drive shaft at the brakes that I'm aware of. It comes with a rubber ring that goes around the shaft and over the locking Allen but I found that doesn't work either. Best action is to red loctite all pins and lock allens. My locking Allen at the rear brake still backed out with the rubber oring over it. Luckily I caught it in time cause with the locking allen backed out it started to chew into my rcr brake pad. I had to remove my pads and file down the bursts then reinstall. These are the ONLY thing I red loctite??

don't remember who but somebody on YouTube said a zip tie works pretty well for keeping them in. Tighten it down and trim the extra so it doesn’t throw the shaft off balance.

?Tie wire or aviation wire maybe, but I can't see a tie wrap because it's really close to the brake rotor.

You know what I bet would work really well... I think I actually remember hearing somebody say this, but Heat-shrink tubing...
The tools have arrived... Still just waiting on the engine. Been about 2 weeks so far. Hopefully, it'll be here next week!

Hell, you could honestly just put a better quality o-ring. Maybe a slightly smaller size so it's even tighter. The only problem I see with using an o-ring is that if the shaft doesn't have a channel cut for the o-ring to sit in, the vibration will likely cause it to move. Wouldn't have to worry about that with heat shrink.
