It seems most locktabs are NLA or the preference is loctite. I assume the same for the rear Diff cover. Just use spring washers and loctite ?

Some locktabs are available if you want to keep original.

I've never had problems using good spring washers and no Loctite.
That's all the lower RH stud on a remote box has, anyway.
Edit:
3/8 Nyloc nuts are a good idea too.
