I'd say ring around places like Repco or try our mate Pete's place Wellington Motorcycles or try Motorad.

Otherwise closer to your home these guys claim they have Loctite products http://www.locksmithskapiti.co.nz/nuts-bolts-kapiti

Saeco bearings or most engineering places will sell it.
Don't much of the welly area but there must be a few around.

Thanks mate - Its useful stuff to have at home though so I'll probably buy some. Its also bit tricky to do overnight 'cos I have to pop parts into the freezer and heat others so its a weekend jobbie.

Besides - its gives me something to bitch on the internet about....

Oh - anyone know if the red high strength thread locker is close enough to use for this job (shaft inside of bearing, minimal load as drive is taken by splined shaft)
