Hey my inner cv joint bolts keep getting loose. Thinking of putting a safety wire hole in it aircraft style or maybe some lock tight stuff. I have used new cone washers and they still get loose. What do you think.

Clean threads, new serrated washers, new gaskets (although some claim they may be the problem) and correct torque. I use 35 ft/lbs. I rarely have them loosen. One trick you might want to try, if you think shrinking gaskets might be the problem, is to use RTV in place of the gasket. Dr. Evil sells drilled bolts at a very reasonable price. It's difficult to do them without a fixture.
