Default Question about 9" backing plate t bolts

I picked up a Moser 9" this summer and did some reading before I installed it.

After reading about some other peoples problems, I was sure to use lock-tite on the "T-bolt" nuts when we put it together. Today I was looking for the source of a rattle and found that the nuts on the T-bolts were all loose and it was my calipers rattling.

I got them tight again but this winter I want to replace the nuts with something that won't back off. Can someone tell me what I should use because I don't want this to happen again.

You could use, locking washers, nuts with nylon in them, or you could even drill holes in everything and saftey wire it together

I orignally installed mine with lock-washers, they came loose several months later.

Now, I have lock-washers and TONS of lock-tite on mine. So far, so good.
