Ever use wave washers under the Allen head bolt or jam nut shown in the pic.
Having a hard time keeping things snug and where they belong. I might give it a try.

I have a hard time loosening it when I need to change the setting.

I like to keep mine loose so I can adjust it as the pot empties. I used to snug it with a wrench but found it a hassle. I snug the nut with my gloved hand if needed.
I did ever so lightly bugger the threads on the screw so it would be tight in the arm.

I put a stiffish coil spring between the head of the bolt and the nut. Applies constant pressure so reduces the chance that it will "re-adjust" itself, but still allows me to tweak the adjustment with my (gloved) fingers.

Hi,
Like cheese, I run it loose!

Same here.
