if you get the correct tread lock it will help and you can also get a similar thing to put on shafts to help hold things on slightly worn shafts(it takes up some of the free play) etc cant for the life of me think what its called,i used this aroun 15 years ago on a splined saft on one of my bubble cars and its still great now,id have thought a nut with a tack weld be good enuf but cant be if its already been tried and failed! a circlip(or e clip) would need a groove around shaft where as if its drilled it could be possibly used with a castle nut and split pin or maybe wired(like lot of race bikes) to stop it come undone,with any locking compound etc make sure everything is well cleaned before use!
