Fairly sure 827 radials are just longer

If you have broken radial and it is hollow tube ?. Find a long bolt, same thread as in hub.
Reduce dia of the remaining bolt that won't sit inside hub to fit tightly into radial.
You can reduce via spinning in a drill against a file.

You can protect thread needed with tape or simular.
