Yeah, you noticed that did you?lol

What I did was buy a bunch of carriage bolts, and washers that the square part could not go through. Then I installed the carriage bolts with the washers and nuts on the outside and tack the washers in place. Then I cut off the head of the carriage bolt and grind it flush and welded it closed. This way when the tighten the bolt it has the washer for extra strength so the sheetmetal will not buckle. I will also be using Nylon Insert Lock nuts so that I don't have to really torque down and it still will not back off the bolt.
