I notice that I also have 1mm play on one side. All the recommended solutio
ns seem really complicated.And I believe that I have grease between the TP1
0 and the torque tube=2C so the Loctite would never last.
Why wouldn't this work ?:  Insert another pin on the outside of the fuselag
e. There is a gap between the  TP12 and the fuse skin. Remove some of the s
kin to gain access for the drill bit and the pin=2C the skin is easily repa
ired afterwards. Drill a hole through the top only. Then insert a close fit
ting machined piece of aluminum rod=2C pre-drilled . This piece would have 
a removable handle screwed into it near the edge to facilitate insertion an
d positioning. While rotating the insert apply Redux. Line up the holes aga
in and now drill the bottom hole. Insert the pin or bolt with locknut and r
emove the temporary handle.

 suggested was the tight fit=2C(which it good)=2Cbut would be difficult to 
break if you wanted to remove it.This would be a very rare event=2C and it 
may be a bit difficult=2Cbut could be done=2C and i am sure some one would 
come up with a good way of breaking the fit to removing it if needed.
