Tack weld, wire, or professional bolt locking systems.

Yeah take everything apart again, use studs, lockwashers, nuts, and you can use some more loctite, but it just melts anyways

Here's what I did. Get a piece of thin steel that goes from bolt to bolt, and bend the lip of the steel up at each bolt so it can't turn.
