That's what I'm using by the looks of it. All seems OK for me . The short life they're stating's more than likely for stresses in con-rod bearings knocking the shit out of it. Your charger's not got that problem; rollers/tapered rollers? don't have the same lube problems.

well they wont do because they are brake pipe unions so have holes through them.  Although I've used one of them filled with solder by heating it with a blow torch before.

Im guessing you could just use a bolt with the correct thread and a copper washer?
