you'd still have to drill out one side of the bracket to 3/8 so the bolt could slide in.
When I drilled out the holes it was barely any material, the holes on the bracket were really loose tolerance. A couple turns with a reamer would have sufficed.

professor - Woah. That is weird.
206er - Oh, I didn't think about the fact that the bracket would go on both sides.
I guess drilling the bracket out is the way to go then.

yeah, too weird, so I re-ckecked... the shank is about 9mm while the threads are 10mm, its a rolled-thread bolt (duhhh)
still it fits in a 10mm sleeve so there is too much slop, I'm going to swap in regular 10mm cut-thread bolts with pain shanks for a tight fit.

Ah, that makes more sense.
Yeah, it seems like a cut-thread bolt would solve some of the slop problem, as long as the threads are still strong enough... seems like it shouldn't be a problem, if you can get some class 10.9 hardware.
What is a pain shank?
