I would think that using some Servicable Locktite threadlock gel would keep it from coming loose. But that's just a guess.

you could also get a little longer bolts and get a lock washer, or nylon lock nut, add the lock tite and they should be on great.

Safety wire and a dab of red loctite. No more problems. The safety wire will make a reverse "S" when wiring it.
