Hi George, The bracket is right behind the hole, but it is cast iron and fairly deep. If I was good enough, I could probably drill a hole in the bracket and tap it for the screw, but I don't trust that I would get it lined up well enough.
There is some space right beind the screw hole to allow the screw to poke through. I am thinking of enlarging that space so I can get a nut in there.
