Mattias, your reply shows that you understand my point. The small offset does help to keep the torque-couple small. But you will find there is surprising variation in the ID of the torsion tube. You will not always have such a tight it. With load and vibration rotation may be an issue.

Further, any repetetive rotation however minor may cause the bolt to loosen.
I got the point, force paired with vibration can turn around this plug.
I can look around for some easy solutions like drilling a 8mm hole in middle of plug and torsion tube surface and screwing a bolt there.

Should be enough with security to keep us all satisfied and with confidence?
