Mine (kit no 505) did the same in 2002. I returned it to the factory
who arranged to have it re plated. The second attempt worked fine.

Subject: Europa-List: Tailplane torque tube troubles
I installed the tail plane torque tube a couple of days ago and strayed
it with AFS-50 then wiped it down with MEK. I noticed that the plating
is flaking off on one side. I sent an E-mail to John asking him what he
thinks I need to do.
Are there any ideals? Have it replated, buy a new one?
