Since you're going through all the trouble of drilling, tapping, and grinding down to clean metal at that connection, I suggest go ahead and attach the loop with the screw and then solder it. That seems like it would last forever.

On another note, I bought a POR15 starter kit for $20, and that stuff is just amazing. I found a little goes a very long way. It is strange stuff to work with, it seems to be really thin when dipping the brush, but the paint layer that you brush on seems thick. And the higher the humidity is, the faster it dries. It would probably completely stop the rust on the whole frame. Mist it with some primer while it is still tacky from the POR15 coat, and then you can paint it with a color coat of your choice later.
