tighten it up a bit more and maybe a lockwasher. Or, you could get a longer bolt and put a nylock on the other end as you may have ovaled the cast aluminum makingthe threads near useless.

One thing coolice knows about is safety wire. His safety wire is safety wired. : )
Sorry Mike I couldn't pass it up!
PS how do you safety wire the 'nut' on the seat?

RED Loctite. The blue was not strong enough and mine kept backing out.

Mark the location of the bolt head with a dot and look once in a while to make sure it is not backing out.

The little plastic inserts tend to wear out, and I think they facilitate the bolt to back out when they are worn, just a theory.
