<p>By no means should you ever put a lubricant on threads. Grease
will lubricate and reduce friction. Friction is what holds the
threads tight against each other. If it's SS into SS you know
already to use anti-seize compound which contains powdered metal,
nickel/silver or copper/orange. <br>

seen this before, the bolt on a shunt inside a Magnum
inverter snapped right off, other half inside the shunt. I
was tightening it but I don\u2019t believe excessively. It
appears to be crystallized. Magnum is replacing the shunt
but it\u2019s my good luck that the job is 5 hours into a remote
backwater along a punishing road.
