I have seen some with a hole drilled since they are upside down and a pin put through for good measure.
Now there's a man with a good idea! And I like it!! Thanks Kevinski.
Update: So I was replacing my carriage bolts with 2" Grade 8 bolts. But the 2" bolts were a little short, so next size I could find were 2 1/2". This morning I drilled a couple holes for the cotter pins and when I went to install them they were suspiciously short? Yep, I drilled the shorter 2" bolts. I took a deep breath and said, "OK, we go again." Got the correct bolts installed with pins. I was thinking about shortening the bolts a bit, but I don't think they'll be in the way of anything. Thanks again for the idea.
