If you want to install elevator bolts why not just have your welder put some small angle iron clips (say 1-1/2" angle x 1/8" thick and 1-1/2" wide) at strategic points with the 1/4" hole already drilled into them for the bolts? That way you will not weaken your tubing and the additional weight would not be much.
