Then maybe if going the wire-guide route, the guide strips should then be
eliminated, safe to say (as did Troy and Mike)?
The tolerances back there are so tight with the strips, I find it hard to
think that everything will stay put over time.
The fake fuselage top has been fitted, effectively securing the position of
the upper H support.
Keeping slitted eyes on it almost every day now so far :) Will re-check
its position every time the top is clecoed back into place.
Thanks for all your responses so far!

At idle or while taxiing, the balance weight can at times vibrate against
the rubbing strips, introducing some additional periodic noise. This is
possible even with the cables and close fitted tolerance with the rubbing
strips.
Goes without saying that the strips have to be fitted perpendicular to the
TP torque tube (although this probably twists out of true during a taxiing
turn).
In flight I've not noticed any vibration above all the other odd vibrations
and rattles and there doesn't appear to be any loss of trim sensitivity from
any increased friction.
