Europa-List: Aileron play

When we built the PH-DIY the aileron system was tight. But after 91
hours of flying and repeated (de)rigging, everything settled in, and
some play developed at the quick connect system.
There is no play within the wing itself, nor in the airplane, but it
sounds like it really is at the mating surface of the two quick connect
surfaces and the surface shows some wear.
Does this sound normal?
With the wing root fairing in place it is a bit awkward to make
measurements and get a visual confirmation.
My plan is to add another tufnol sheet on the bellcrank surface to see
if that solves the problem. (There is no play on the bearings).
Other ideas are welcome of course.
