    Some nice strong glue would fix that. I would be borrowing some Loctite 638 from work.

    As above, but clean all the corrosion off first. Alternatively using a slightly longer bolt with a stainless locknut and washer would work.

    Thank you for the above helpful comments, problem solved: am going with the longer s/s screws and locknuts.
