Pontiac, IL.
The proper term for a clevis with a threaded bolt is a "Shackle". The problem with using a bolt and nut through a clevis, is the bolt is probably still the weakest point. I agree it is a LOT safer than a pin and hairpin, but ALL the shackles that I have seen, the threaded bolt is Oversized, Making sure that the pin never fails.
Be careful using a twist clevis.
