This is just an idea. What if you use a little bit of JB weld around the nut to the bracket to make it stronger. Hope this makes sense.
And make sure you treat the metal with some rust proofing where you made the whole larger, they can rust out badly quick.
The image I found from another PP member, it shows the problem.
