Check out the pic. Do I need to put a nut where the arrow is? The existing bolt threads in. Would loctite be sufficient? Or would the bolt come unscrewed?
The piece that the bolt goes through last is already threaded, making it the nut in the system.
Adding another nut on the end would be a little redundant, but certainly not a bad thing.
When you think about it though, having a heim joint up at the bolt head makes it pretty unlikely that anything other than the already-threaded portion is going to put any twisting force on it while in use--the heim joint design means that the bolt will simply swivel in place freely.
On mine, I used blue locktite and a nut on the front part, and blue locktite alone on the back, which is what yours looks like in the picture.
