Could add another bolt in close fit holes to the angle/tube. Even thru the flat plate or both sides.
Drilling while mounted again would painful.

you can tighten the heck out of it with out tube wall yielding.
If the holes thru tube are considerably larger than bolts, (only way I can see the pivoting action) could increase bolt size.
