It is not necessary, Paul.

There is little force exerted on this ball lever piece -- it is only to select the handle rotation direction.

Plus, the ball lever is a harder metal -- so it digs in well to the A/R pin's slightly softer metal -- and snugs up well.  DAM mever used loctite on these, because it was not needed.

Best Always,

Fred
