Hi Mark;
    If you go to Loctite's web site http://www.loctite.com/int_henkel/loctite/entry.cfm 
they have an excellent product search feature. You enter the info as to your required use and it will list all applicable products along with product data sheets.

Mark,
You probably want the purple loctite since a threadlocker is optional anyway - I think this is the #222 / small screw threadlocker; this breaks loose easily but does protect against vibration.  I know that the blue is #242 (removable) and is what I usually use but it can require pretty high force to break loose. The red is #262 (permanent) and can be pretty tough to get loose and sometimes requires heat.  They seem to make a product for everything - the RV guys have even found that the green (#290 I think) will stop a leaking gas tank rivet!  I bet Bill Jepson has some real war stories about this stuff!  The dirt bike racers keep the bikes together with this stuff since they don't usually use safety wire.
