Amusingly, Moss does not show any nut for the restraining rod.
I would use a pair, as you wondered, or a nylock nut.

While checking under my car I discovered that the nuts on the restraining
rod (the piece which keeps the engine and transmission from sliding forward
when you stop) were loose.  I suspect that I forgot to tighten them the last
time I loosened the rear mounts to replace the overdrive isolation switch,
but I am wondering if they should be in pairs so that they could be
tightened against each other and would, thus be less likely to come loose.

Thanks,
