Can't see why it wouldn't actually be a little better than the original.

Looks fine.
I got rid of the donut all together and used a Group 4 UJ.

People do talk about a single point of failure etcetc.
But if the whole world crashed into the sun, we'd all die horribly. You could call that a single point failure, but it aint gonna frickin
happen.
That looks fine.

P.S. you might drill and lockwire the nuts to the bolts I spose...
