Thank you for taking the time to dig out the graphic...
So ...this is not exactly the same, but similar...the holes in #7 on your drawings for bolt (#9) to pass through have a lot of wear...everything else is nice and snug...so my thoughts are to just "cover those holes with 1/2 inch washers..and weld them to that item # 7 ...essentially providing new holes that would be tighter....I have also played with the idea of using nuts, drilling out the threads, and then grinding them down a little bit flatter and welding them on....these are just ideas and ...you are right...I am not going to just start attaching things that may or may not work
