As for using the old stretchable bolt - why would you? Have you thought of the consequences of the bolt coming loose and maybe damaging the threads on the end of the crank?

IMO, that "stretchable bolt" was rugged, undamaged and unlikely to twist out just my own thoughts. Like you, I'm very happy with the upgrade well worth the cash and effort.
