For a threaded connection, ideally you would want a counterbored hole in the ear which would allow the grip of the bolt to extend fully through the joint and into the ear before the threads engage. That would require some sort of custom shoulder bolt or a sleeve sized to the counterbore, which is what I mentioned earlier. Ultimately, it is easier to drill out the threads to 16mm nominal diameter and through-bolt with a 16mm bolt. You can go larger than that, if you want to also drill out the bushing.
