Thank you Bill for your advice. I will check the nuts next time I do a sprocket and probably go down the aerotight nuts and thick washers route. I guess the loctite should only go on some of the thread or it might act as a lubricant on torquing down? Just a thought as I've been reading discussions on greasing wheel nuts and bolts on cars which seems to suggest lubricant can lead to over torque with damage to the thread.
The washers look interesting Steve but are very expensive. I might have a look and see if they are available cheaper.
