I have experience with safety wire and have the tools, and wire LoL but may be too much hassle for someone not using it frequently..
the hose clamps aren't a bad idea either as HotWheelsFan mentioned above.. stauff makes a wide variety of clever calming solutions..

I worked on spacecraft for a few years, and some of the things required lock wiring. We always had to design, build and assemble components so that they were in a stress-free condition. Launch loads place a huge strain on components, and if any part has a stress on it, the launch loads will break, unscrew, crack, or do some other damage to it.
