Locking fastener comprising a threaded part such as a bolt (13) or nut (28) and a locking plate (18) which fits over the bolt or nut and is prevented from rotation by engagement with a stationary object such as protrusion on the part to be secured. The locking plate has an opening (19) with a contour which mates with the outer contour of the fastener to prevent rotation of the fastener, and the plate is retained on the fastener by a retainer (21) mounted in a groove (16, 29) formed in the fastener itself. |
