I used some extra round aluminum (~ 4 inches long) that had an outside diameter almost exactly the same as the inside cross section of the rectangular tubing. Not sure what the size was but one of the round tubes needed elsewhere in the build fit just right. Look around your shop I bet you'll find one. I then used a stick to shove the round tube into the square tube, covering the area the pin will go. Now the tap goes through the two layers of aluminum not one. Seven years and it hasn't loosened one bit.
