I like the idea of the roll pins.
 I was thinking of screws,
And insetting the ends.
But the pins would be easier,
And I could still band it with my hose clamps   
Now , All I need a day stretcher, If anyone has an extra one 

Thanks Again

Spike,
  On second thought, the roll pin would be kind of permanent and difficult to remove due to the fact that they are designed to be pushed through.  I think a pull dowel would be a better solution.  This way you can still disassemble it for servicing.

Possibly some sort of tie-rod clamping assy.   Since the failure was pressure related and not a flashback, try and think how to strengthen the non-threaded joints.    Roll pins might weaken the adjacent material and would definitely leak if they went thru to the cavity.

External clamping pressure might be ugly, but tenable

It's definitely a thought. 
I just wish I knew how the pressure was before it blew.
It might have been a good thing.

Again a big WOW!
Very good Spike!
You are having the best results i ever have seen.
I ll add them to my testresult excelsheet.

Question: What about using plain tapwater without additives on the same level of power. Can you try that one for me?
