Fuel shutoff mounting bracket

The fuel shutoff mounting bracket is attached by three bolts, two the the fuel pump (P7100) and a lower one to the (motor ?). Problem is the two bolts keep working loose and now have worn out the threads in the fuel pump. I retapped them to the next larger size and put in new cap screws. I checked them this weekend and they were loose again. Other than not properly tighten the bolts, which I think were properly tighten, remember the part of the pump is alumiunm. Any suggestions?

Thanks bob4x4, that's what I did this weekend with the hope that the lock-tite would fix the problem. I was just looking for any leads to why this was happening other than my ability to tighten the bolts.
