The hole for the bolt in the frame is 2mm smaller than the inner diameter of the rose joint, so 3 choices.
1) drill & tap the frame.....the lug is quite small and there won't be much metal left
2) sleeve down the rose joint, or make a stepped bolt.......I don't have a lathe.
3) make an adapter plate out of sme 3mm stainless I had under my bench.

I chose 3), and it has the advantage that you can put a bend in it to help keep the rose joint closer to the centre of its movement.
