I'm fitting lap belts to the middle seats of my caravelle - do I need to threadlock the bolts?

Hi
I drilled and tapped 8mm holes and fitted 3 lap belts.
I had same thought myself,but I did not as had thought afterwards.I did tighten bolts hard up, but threadlock will only make more secure.
Blue threadlock best for this operation, as red fixes like a glass resin.
you usually use threadlock to counter act vibration, so not needed in this case, but as said wont harm .
