Isn't there a backing plate, Dan?

() If there is, don't get a bigger set of bolts because you'll not likely marry with the backing plate?
IF it's worked before and there is on sign of distress; AND, you have a properly sized backing plate for the bolts...It had a lot of miles on it before and it didn't owe you anything.
