> So what are you using or what do you recommend?
I use what McMaster-Carr calls an "oval lock with conical top". Similar in
principal to Cleveloc nuts, but a slightly different shape.

Unaffected by heat or vibration; and held perfectly when ordinary Nylocs
would back off in a few thousand miles. Contrary to what MMC says, I reuse
them several times.
Which is kind of silly, since that box of 100 would be a lifetime supply
even if I used a new one every time <G>
The only downside I see is that they do wear the bolt threads to some
extent, and after many on/off cycles it would probably be prudent to replace
the bolt. But I've not reached that point yet.
