I took it off applied Red Locktite and put it back on. 2 months later it's loose again. Any good suggestions on fixing them? Not a lot of metal in those pot metal standoffs. Thanks

Frank I didn't think there was enough metal for that but you should know. It has 5 stands and two are stripped out while the other 3 will tighten they will not stay that way (even with locktite) so I will start with the helicoil and work up to the form a thread. If they were the normal centers I have spares but these are the ones with the centers that pop out and I want to keep the set matched. Thanks again
