Great! It seems unanimous, just use it as is. I don’t exactly remember what type bolt/washer they used. I guess I’ll use a grade 8 hex cap bolt and a flat and lock washer? I don’t remember how much if any of the broken shaft thread stuck above the flywheel.

I would probably do as you say and run it. I would also check the torque a few times to make sure you are retaining tension.
