Default bell and rotor question

i looked at my bells and rotors,
ive got 330mm willwoods and they came from somebodys old project,

the rotors are attached to the bells with bolts obviously but on the inside they have used nylon locknuts,

now ive looked at a friends and his are all steel nuts,

will the nylon threaded ones melt under road use heat and work loose?

cheers
