Lesson Learned: check each and every nut at Annual, especially under those
connector covers that sit in hard-to-reach locations.

Your story is not uncommon. Loosening hardware is one
of the higher-order risks. Nylon or fiber insert lock
nuts are a fair bet. Also, consider a mild thread-locker
designed for maintenance removal. This is especially
useful on contactors with coarse threads more likely
to loosen up under vibration of heavy lead wires
attached. This is another advantage of welding cable
as a fat-wire material . . . the stuff is so flexible
that its ability to transmit torsional vibration to
the stud is far lower than for "aircraft wire".
