The OP was complaining that nothing he tried really worked, causing
danger to man and beast, and not so much about the cost of the
hardware, and Drake Nuts are the gold standard.  They simply don't
shake loose.  Finger tight causes noticeable locking.

Failing that, I'd try a thick nut and a jam nut tightened hard against
one another.  And Loctite don't hurt.  I recall from a study I read
that one puts the jam nut under the thick nut for best shake
resistance.  Lok-Mor may have the study I recall, or it was an old
NASA study.
