I did that to the tangs on my boom, worked great (5 years thus far). I
used a bronze bushing but a hard plastic might be a better choice.

Hard to tell without seeing all the pieces apart, but a better
solution might be to ream out one hole or another, squeeze either a
Bronze bushing in or a hard plastic, (UHMW) which Might just be better
than new.

Hello all,
Our gooseneck fitting is starting to wear, and the holes in it where
the bolt fits down the center vertically are starting to wear
egg-shaped. You can see a photo here:

Does anyone know where to get a new fitting?
In the alternative, could I take it to a local weder and have it
filled and re-drilled, or would you think that would be unwise for
some reason?
Thanks in advance for your insights,
