Lutz,
try to use a brass strip 1 by 1 mm, drill holes in right distance in the brass strip and insert small NBW.
You should solder the NBWs in full length in holes of strip. So you will have washers and nuts at one side of this rib and on other side you will have the long bolt ends. Because NBWs have fairly thick shafts so you can file down the overlong material to the high of screw heads and than you should press a hexagonal head using a flat plier. After this you can glue or solder this "srewed" rib to the smoke box support.
I think that I would solve this problem on this way.
