Hmm?! If these tuning pins have a standard(?) thread, like a bolt, and the plate, itself has the same thread.....Then I wonder if the tuning pin might be tapered? Or, if not, then why not try something like ThreadLoc? There are various types of this stuff. Some, that allow the "bolt" to be turned back out, but tight enough to eliminate it coming out due to vibration, etc. Just a thought.
