Neil, it looks like you either shaped a piece of metal and cut out the old worn part, or welded it in on top of the old part. This should work just fine. The washer technique would yield the same result--new metal for the hole. The fact that the new part if thicker than or offset to the original body metal can easily be compensated for by repositioning the washers and nuts on the threaded end of the rod. I may be commenting on two different posts here, but they are at least on the same topic.
