A nip is a bit of a turn with a spanner, enough to lock off, not enough to smash the lever handle.
Yeah locktite....stoopid iPad autocorrect.
How do you install a threaded rod into a clamping lever?

It will look like this, but the stud will be longer.

What do you mean? Sorry.

Still not sure what you mean about putting some locktite on the thread.
can you describe the purpose of the handle and what it does.??
Locktite is like a glue. When it sets it stops the lever from unscrewing from the studding.
Will it be strong enough to do that? I thought the force against the screw would break the glue?
what sort of clamp?

Wow, sounds good. So would this provide enough resistance so that with a lot of force applied on the lever it keeps the stud locked in? The lever will require some heavy turning by hand, in and out, so the stud staying put is essential.

Red loctite has caused many mechanics to consider a new line of work. It can be impossible to undo.you need to make sure that the metal is clean and free of grease, allow time to set
You could drill a small hole diametrically through the handle and studding and insert a pin/rivet/grub-screw to lock the studding into the handle.

Have a look on here for the loctite you think would be suitable then look on Amazon for a smaller, (and therefore cheaper), bottle.

It's often referred to as "stud lock" by engineers but it's the same stuff.
Spread a little evenly on the part of the thread that will go into the handle. Once you screw the rod into the handle the 'stud lock' will begin to set because you are removing the air from the thread. It's the absence of air which activates the glue. If you ever need to remove the thread you will have to use the 2 nut method as I described above but in reverse. i.e. lock the nuts together and then undo by using the nut nearest the handle.
John D is asking if you can show a picture or drawing of what the other end of the stud is going to be screwed in to. So far we know one end is going to go into a handle. What is the handle going to operate at the other end?

Loctite 270 is the one dor you.....one of the red ‘2’ series.
A seriously good adhesive that cures when air is excluded.
