Pinch bolts to tighten stock handle pole

Location
LOTO
We like a tight handle pole on our SJ, but I'm scared to tighten the stock bolt any more for fear of breaking off the ears of the stock pole bracket. I know they make special pinch bolts, but their kind of expensive. Can I just get rid of the stock bolt & spring and get two short ss bolts and nylon lock nuts?

If you can find the right size. The diameter of the boot is an oddball size of I am not mistaken. Also the shaft has to be solid until it clears the bushings.
