Thanks Dennis,

I decided not to use threadlocker. Removeable stuff was on advice of FLAPS
guy.

As an aside, one of the rods I got from Van Cafe has the divot for peening
the shoulder of the rod nut into
it, and the rest don't. Also one set of nuts (for one cap) has no shoulder.
Maybe this helps them "balance" the set.
Thoughts anyone?
