Just curious. Is there a torque spec for those clamps? Or ...

Yeah...just noticed Danny has referenced the Crosby data so he
undoubtedly has seen the table there...for the 3/8", they recommend 45
ft-lb.

I still think the clips should be used as delivered by the manufacturer
(w/o any additional locknut, that is), with, at most, some threadlock or
perhaps substituting a nylok nut. If were really, really, paranoid,
guess could test the fully-torqued position and then drill and go to
castle nut and pin on a couple.

But, thermal expansion is not an issue that's going to cause any
loosening of the fasteners if torqued.
