Expanding bolts do seem a bit complicated at first glance. But there is a good reason for using them with the clevis attachment shown. The multi-lug clevis attachment requires an interference fit between the lug bores and shear bolt body to prevent fretting damage. This type of fit is very difficult to achieve with solid body pins/bolts.
