[alfa] Cam lock tabs, and alternatives

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

I was searching around for some of these,  they seem to be going 
extinct.   John Norman had some, but I was told that they don't 
currently have a supplier. 
So, I was wondering in the face of possible new unobtainable part (not 
that something like this should be pretty easy and cheap for a supplier 
to make, or even a Alfisti)  I was wondering if people do something else 
here,  a loctite or some other solution?  I think the racing crowd might 
be changing cam timing on a fairly regular basis (or does everyone have 
dedicated race cars nowadays?) does one use a locktab each and every 
time?  And, there's that pesky removal of the entire cam to have the 
clearance to take off the nut to actually change the locktab.

I'd like to hear that one can forgo them for some other method,  but 
then again,  I don't want to have my sprocket come loose at 6500 rpm,  
either...
