Fastener Tech Needed

it and allows it to rotate.
Here's where I'm at now ... the brass is 1/2 " diameter thick
walled sleeves. I intend that it would reduce the moment
at the bolt where it passes through the vertical piece (Pic 3)

This will be a robust mount. Your acceleration rate in an accident may be slightly higher than a mount with some deflection but the stock belts stretch considerably anyway.
Remember Dale E. died from a compromised belt mount!
