Likely minimal risk with all parts being powder coated.
You make a good point. I had assumed my layman would be able to achieve "snug tight" with a wrench but you are likely right and this is more inline with finger tight.
Two bolts in this instance are sharing the applied load. Load is...
It is a challenge to strike a balance on this one.
I could add a bolt sleeve (in red) by passing it through a larger hole in one side of the SHS although I won't be able to weld it into place.
