Here is a link for the part:

I know 973 used them as a coupling method to the metric output shaft of the KOP gearbox in 2005.
I'm not sure this quick change ability is that much of a benefit, what was the cause of their failure? If it's something likely to happen again I'd focus my efforts there instead.
