So did anything ever come of this? I'm headed to Arapiles over Easter, and if the dodgy old bolt is still there, I'd be inclined to replace it with what would most likely be a camouflaged, glue-in stainless ring bolt. I'll re-use the old bolt hole if I can get the bolt out, and if I think its positioning is good, or drill a new placement otherwise. Any objections?

The alternative (assuming a replacement bolt is to be placed) would be a glue-in M12 stainless threaded rod with a hanger. This may be preferable for those who despise rings, but in my opinion is inferior for this placement, as the nut can loosen (especially given how many people would be swinging on it), which allows the hanger to move, which results in the threads being damaged by the hanger, which means you can't properly tighten it any more. It's also more visually obtrusive than a camouflaged ring. Pretty much the only advantage is that it's easier to chop if the need ever arises.
