Just read about your rear uprights question loctite, when using loctite which one do most guys use permanent or the one you can undo the nuts again.

I use Loctite Threadlock, IMO it servs two functions, locks the nut, and keeps moisture out - prevents rusting.

It is undo-able with spanner pressure, but has never failed me at keeping nuts tight.

Loctite

One i use is Loctite 243 medium strength vibration proof.
Getting paranoid keep hearing stories about propshaft nuts coming undone and nuts on steering and suspension coming loose.
These cars with bike engines are going through so much stress and vibration got to make sure it's done correct from the start.

I also use the 243 but i was never sure what was better the prit stick style one or the superglue tube. As for shaking free put a red paint mark on everything and check it regularly which i dont think is too much for a car id use at weekends only. Also maybe use them serated washers to give them a better grip ie for prop bolts
