I don't have a bent bolt, the one shown circled is missing, it goes through a larger hole in the tubular arm (as shown) and the thread then screws into a bushing fitted into the table. The bit you can see sticking up behind the tube is one side of the wing nut fitted to the bolt, you use that to screw the bolt into the bushing. To replace the bushing I'd have to strip off the top padded cover.

Edited.

Forget all that, I've got access to an M8 tap so going to re-thread the inserts so my M8 bolt fits.
