Red Loc Tite

The light bucket had a funky little spacer and a bolt that went thru the bottom. Once the bolt worked loose pretty obvious the headlight came off its mount.
Here is where my question about the loc tite applies......

I tapped the 1/4 moon shaped part from the metric thread it was to 1/2" NC. I then put lock tite on the threads of the bolt that were going to engage on the recently threaded part.

Being that the funky spacer is now long gone I just used a 5/8" nut as it was the tightest fit into the channel. Until I go for a ride and see how the head light aim is I just used a regular nut and lock washer. Once I get a chance to check the aim of the light I will be replacing the nut and lock washer with a stovers nut. I also drilled a hole in the bottom of the bolt, just in case it does loosen up the nut will not come all the way off, so at least the head light will not try to remove itself form the bike......I also had to rewire the headlamp as when it was hanging by the wires it stretched them out pretty far....
