That's where I connected the ground, but a good point on the stress in
operation. Only one bolt, though, so maybe it untorques just a
little. I drilled a hole in each head and nut anyway, and safety
wired 'em. This is not aircraft hardware and the nut doesn't seem to
grip all that much. The time to do this I figured will be offset by
no need to check torque during periodic maintenance.
