Just brain storming a back up plan!! Always have a plan B!!
If you have 2 small plates either side of the origonla hole with a bolt through and then weld a couple of bolts with their heads cut off sticking out sideways from the ends of the plates, between them, you will be able to have a universal joint and not need much more space.
