I would go with the steel or zinc ones personally, not a huge fan of stainless hardware, it can create false security or gale, unless ARP stuff.

Hopefully pelican doesn't get bent on the link, since this is specialized hardware they don't really sell:

Yes, this is the proper solution, also called a schnorr washer. Should use new washers every time, multiple 914s and 930 for over 30 years, never had one come loose. No loctite and use cardboard gasket to keep grease in cvs.
