What did you do to secure the bolts? Lock washers? Self-locking nuts? Loctite? A combination of these or something else? Don't want to have to re-check the bolts every month.

How about bolt length? Just enough to ensure full thread contact with the nut? What about flat washers -- any under the head and/or the nut?

What size bolts did you go with? I haven't checked, but are the frame holes exactly the right size for a standard Gr 8 selection or should I plan on enlarging them for a snug fit with whatever the next size up would be?

Thanks again for the advice! Sorry for all the questions but the frame's kinda important and I wanna do it right the first time.
