Jerry - have you tried titanium hing pins? I noticed that you have titanium bulks, but not pins.
IMHO - a through hardened pin is much more likely to snap than bend. This MAY be an issue to remove if it ever happens.

In my professional alter-life, I never put a hardened pin or bolt in a shear connection that could possibly load more than 1/10th of its shear strength.
