The eccentric nature of the plug and bolt will force the plug against the bore of the torsion bar tube if a couple is applied to the plug....but the two plates would have to rotate...the plates are bolted in at the 4 bolt holes.
Even the stock t-bar carrier end applies considerable force to the 4 bolts that hold the carrier plate...
With everything properly torqued I don't see how Mattias' design is any worst than the stock design.
Some other available options don't even have the plug...just an inner and outer plate....
If a road test or if nervousness requires it, here's something to look at....refine it for the application as needed.

That´s a new way to thinking about security and keeping things tight, Souk.
A side note, I´ve seen much worser solutions like Souk said.
If they works, so should my solution work at least in same ballpark in realibity and longevity?
If anyone who think he/she can do it better, I´m open for any input, good and bad.
