Copperslip on wheel bolts is an mot failier if the mot tester was to check them

 

Where is that in the testers manual?

you don't copperslip the threads, you copperslip the tapper.

Nothing wrong with using a small amount of copper slip on the threads.

on the truck the nuts, threads and hub get covers in coppeslip else you can never get the damb things off.   everything else just the hub bolts go in dry.
