Just curious if anyone had used these / would recomend them.

I've never used them, partly because after a while the rubber O rings wear or perish and look tatty, also the chrome can scuff too.

From the photo those adaptors will work fine.
Seems like a good design/ idea.

Only update the bolt grading (strength) if need be.

They will stick out a bit farther, but that looks like the only real drawback.
