Do I need the metal locking tabs as fitted to Cortinas of the day, or is threadlock the way to go?

Will threadlock survive brake heat?

Yes. Certainly did on my discs anyway! The Loctite I used was suggested by the fastener dealer as suitable in the application (ie high temperature).

Yup I use the lipstick type threadlock (low strength) with no problems.
