Hello Area51, thx for sharing. I see the contoured washer's and bolts instead
of pins. I tried something similar ( Rhichard Collins LAA aproved mod ) it uses
nut plates on a sectioned piece of tube inside the torque tube & contoured
washers and bolt's. It seemed a great solution but when I torqued the bolt's
I got slight distortion of the torque tube which caused tightness & binding.
In the end I went with 5/16" pins .0007 larger than hole and installed from the
frezzer, went in tight and are still tight.
That's a interesting mass balance tube beef-up, I never met John but I have
heard
he was a smart man, looks good to me.
