Default ssd wide axle kit keeps coming loose

ive got a ssd wide axle kit with a vanquish v2 housing, the screws keep coming loose. I'm about ready to just go with the vanquish clamping lockouts and back to stock axles. any thoughts?

+1 on the blue thread locker. I like to let it set for at least a few hours before use, preferably overnight. Also, can you use longer screws without interference? Even one extra mm of thread could make a difference.

You could also drill and tap a 3rd hole for the lockouts 90* from the other two.

I just put mine together and the screws for the lockouts that came with the Vanquish axle only engage maybe 1-1/2 threads. I don't see that lasting long at all. Gonna put longer screws in.
