Originally, you'd take a chisel and deform the threads on the bolt right
where the nut is so that the nut cannot turn.
These days, it's putting a blob of suitable epoxy on the bolt/nut.
I suspect any decent adhesive threadlocker (LocTite red) would work.
SO would wiring the nut and bolt, if they're appropriately drilled for it.
