Now that I look closely at what Slim did, he might have used sheet metal screws on both sides to provide the same ability.  I don't think you want a strong though bolt that won't give should another serious problem occur.  If you're discussing with Stan, might see what he recommended.  Or maybe Slim will chime in. - rob
