Here is my no weld fix so far:
8mm rivet nuts used to make an insert with a steel spacer. The rivet nut is just about the perfect length for the width of the frame- contacts both inner and outer sides all the way through.
The whole unit slides into the frame and nuts on the back lock it down. Short bolt is 30mm, long is 40mm. I need to source 35mm and get flange nuts to finish it up. My hope is that the "insert" will give rather than the frame. I would rather replace bolts and rivet nuts in stead of bending the frame back into place. It was interesting to see that the double frame is much thicker on the front than the back.
Fingers crossed. Thanks for the help.
