I'm a big fan of destructive testing. It's fun and educational. Every now and then you find something that you were sure wouldn't survive, but ends up working and saving you time/money/weight.

I agree if you have it test it. Also since it already has the hole through it you can use that to put a bolt and washer on each end to hold the shaft in place, either by putting a bolt all the way through, or by tapping each end.
