Had I fitted these, I am sure that the fabric coupling would have been seriously stressed.
The main problem with the double-ended bolt is that there is a radius on the shaft where it meets the mating flange - this is not as per the original, they are also too long and the flange itself is too thick! The hole for the split pin was too far down the threaded stud to be of any use.
If you could prepare a sketch showing that dimensions of an original bolt, that would be very helful indeed.
