Taper pins would work until they go loose!
It would then be easy to affect a cure by tightening them some more. Not a
sustainable solution, however.
This assumes that the problem is one of pin/tube-wall bearing failure,
which isn't proven.
Taper pins would also take out any relative non concentricity of the fore
and aft tube holes (generated by mixing up the fitted order of the various
parts) which would result in only one of the holes doing most of the work.
