Lola T324 SV question

[HayesCages]

Working on a customer's car yesterday. Had to remove the "V" brace under the engine and noticed the small, long bolt going through the large hole in this brace. All held together with a weird arrangement of washers on one (!) end so small nut won't go through large hole.
Any ideas what's really supposed to be in large hole (about 2" long and 5/8" bore)?
I'm thinking a bushing of some sort but have no idea.

Thanks in advance!

Lawrence,
I am not sure what is inside the crossmember, but the bolt goes in from the front, then thru the crossmember, then the nut goes on from the backside of the crossmember. The head of the nut fits inside the large ID with clearance for a socket. This may not be what you are asking, but I tried.
Regards

Rusty,
I think our cross member's hole has been broke out at the "bottom". Hence the 6" long bolt going from rear of cross member to front of brace...
We'll make an insert to make it work.
After speaking with the owner this chassis has well over 200 races on it plus several seasons of auto-cross duty. Guess this is a "wear item" after so many years of use.
Thanks for the info!
Lawrence
