Lee Production Pot 4 Shoulder Bolt Question.

The "shoulder bolt" (bolts on which the pour handle slides up & down) on my Pro 4 20 LB pot keep working loose - top one much more so than bottom one but both do it.
What is the best way to deal with this??
Would a washer and lock washer help?

I disassembled my pot and tightened the aluminum grooves that hold em.

What about a thread locker like this;

I'm not sure this would help as it is only rated to 450F and I'm not sure how hot that part of the pot gets. Anyone know of something rated for a higher temp??

I will probably have to fabricate some type of bolt and sleeve so I can use nuts to hold it in place.

Any ideas as to a design/materials?
