I have a 1/2" drive Johnson Bar and if I go west of the Ontario/Manitoba border the same bar is called a 'strong arm'. Weird.
In the case of the OP, I think I would try a piece of redi-rod/threaded rod about 8" long with a nut on either end and just start turning the nuts to suck the holes into position where I could stuff a bolt in the hole next to the rod and get a nut on it. I would also use grade 8 bolts.
That's the ticket! :thumbsup: "Give the man a Kewpie Doll!" :laughing:
