Actually, I think you misunderstand the force dynamics that occur at the spindle/crank interface.
To bluntly expand on 3alarmer's gentle words, you will never be able to keep the cranks tight on the spindle if the diameters don't match, no matter how hard you pound in the cotters. .1mm-.2mm is way too much clearance. Chances are you wouldn't go a mile before they got all floppy.
