I fitted the Flat6 pulley about 3 months ago (very impressed with the results) and replaced the bolt with a new one from my OPC - it was only a few $$. The bolt did not seem to have any locking paste on the threads so I gave it a good coating of Loctite 243.
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?
