Can you give me any pointers or diagrams or ?? about how that joint is put together.

Thanks!

In our case I essentially made a shoulder bolt that tightened into the first strap and captured a bushing which the other strap spun on, I "handcrafted" the attachments due to limited time and not having shoulder bolts of the proper size on hand.
