Red is actually what you`ll want to use on the mounts.
Its more Vibration,Oil,Heat, and strength wise durable.
Your not going to hurt anything by using it.
Make sure you apply all around the threads, dont worry about getting it on any surfaces. its an anaerobic adhesive which means it wont cure unless air IS NOT present. So anything else will wipe up

One is red, one is blue. Sheesh.



Serously man... I probably would've used the blue. But it's too late now.

Just don't ask for my help when you've gotta take it apart ok?
