I wouldn't trust them to hold the bed on, they were never intended as structural attachments, there purpose is simply to keep the sills from spreading and to serve as a washer between the sills and the frame.

My 2 cents...................
Yes, you understood my question exactly. So, you think it would be better to go ahead and attach the bed back the way it was? I like the other look better, but I don't want to loose the bed after going over the railroad tracks either.
