I'm looking at the rear calliper mounting arm that slides into the box section welded to the swing arm. It slides fore and aft with chain adjustment. How tight does the locking bolt need to be screwed down onto it?
Cheers
 
Yep Rob is spot on - just to add that the braking forces try and rotate the arm downwards, to the bottom of the box section, so the screw and locknut just take up the top open area. It is not important they are super tight.  Paul H
 
I had that bolt vibrate out of my Jota and disappear (probably forgot to tighten it after adjusting the chain). It could have been missing for ages before I noticed and replaced it, but there was no noticeable rattle or clunking noise without it.
