ls1 brake upgrade

have all the parts for the upgrade, Im currently cleaning them up, question is when Im re-assembling (ie. wheel hub to steering knuckle) should I use some sort of thread locker on the bolts? if so which one?

Thanks.

Im sure asking alot of questions, but I want to make sure I do this right the 1st time. I need to know how much longer than a stock LT1 brake line is needed if I do not want to bend the hard line? the NAPA near me is going to get the machine to custom make the brake hoses, so I could just have make me some.

On my 97' T/A I kept the stock LT1 lines. I bent the tabs that held the lines and there was just enough clearance lock to lock for the brakes. I would like to upgrade to SS lines though.
