Question:
I am going to install 8 Brophy RR5K Anchors on my Wells Cargo Car Carrier Trailer. Should I be worried about the lower plates bolts vibrating loose over time? If so, should I use lock nuts in place of the stock RR5K nuts? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
You will want to use the included hardware to install the Brophy Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, part # RR5K.
If you are concerned with the lower bolts vibrating loose over time, I would recommend using Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker, part # LT37614.
I have linked instructions for the Threadlocker for reference.
