Please ignore this post - I figured out a work-around for the problem (not perfect, but it works!)

Well tell us about it. Enquiring minds you know :-D

Bama - nothing too exotic. I took the clamp assembly back to the hardware store and spent 30 minutes on the aisle floor looking for options. I found a 5/16x6" piece of hardware with a hook on one end and a bolt on the other (essentially looks like a shepherd's hook). I was able to use the hook through a hole on the strap (basically wrapping it around the t-bar of the existing bolt) and then put the bolt through the receiver on the other side. Worked like a charm.

That's a good fix! I'm sure someone will appreciate it in the future.
