The only gamble would be whether you'd need to remove the torque tube
to repair/replace something. Looks like hacksaw through the torque
tube, and order up a new pair of stabilator cores and start all over?
Flutter would be moot if factory arrangement is fabricated tightly,
but some play is tolerable I would guess. There's a lot old planes
with play back there, my other plane included. My inspector w/50 yrs
experience tells me quit worrying.
