I appreciate your expert tips and suggestions.
I'll be looking into these fasteners for this application.
With due respect,

I think I used a grade8 hard washer to grab as much of the shock as possible under the bolt head.  I think an allen head bolt might provide a better purchase for tightening, or I ground down a 9/16" socket to better fit the bolt head.  I think I used a longer bolts too.  Adding another nut to lock things is place.  If I get a chance, I'll take a good look at what I did and get back to you.  The frame mount can get worn out of round too, if it's been loose a few times.
