Rather than lock washers, wouldn't it make more sense to use drilled head bolts and safety them together in groups of 2 or 3?  I know they're metric and probably not commercially readily available, but drilling them on a drill press wouldn't require too much effort.  Use a 135 degree split point drill bit and you'll go through them like butter.  Just a thought.
