Would it be a good idea to maybe put some teflon tape on the bolt threads to discourage stripping? I know aluminum isn't the hardest of metals. I could imagine them stripping out with repeated removal...

One idea I had was mounting the brackets and drilling the holes as indicated, but then JB welding a nut (or several nuts together) onto the inside of the bracket around the hole, so the bolt had someting to screw into.Taps aren't that expensive. All you need is one 1/4” tap for this.
Thoughts?

Taps aren't that expensive. All you need is one 1/4” tap for this.Well, if I already have jb weld and the right size nuts, why spend money on something I really won't use very often? If worse comes to worse, then I can always spend the money, but if I can come up with an equally simple workaround, then why not?
