has anyone made a clutch for adjusting rod?

I wonder if you could make the hole larger on something like this then put a grade 8 threaded rod in it with lock nut to lock the rod in place (or weld it):

Or what I would prefer is to make it more heavy duty so that it doesn't twist and bend go with something like this so that the force is applied along the center line of the rod??:
