BlankFANTASTIC!!!
I just ordered a foot of 1" dia aluminum rod from Spruce this morning to make some bushings. But I like your
idea even better. Whole lots less work - other than it might be harder to do since my plane is already
flying - but for some one who can easily get to their stick and torque tube, this is great!!!
You've got my vote for this year's great idea!

This is a second try. My pictures were too big in the first attempt so I reduced the resolution.
Jim Agnew came up with an elegant solution to this problem in a previous thread. My lack of machine shop
access led to my own solution. It's cheap easy and everyone already has the stuff on hand to do it. It
requires two wide area washers, Alpha Epoxy and some flox. All you need do is temporarily bolt the wide area
washers to the stick and torque tube, fill in the space between the tubes and the washers with a nice thick
flox mixture. Let cure, remove the bolts and reassemble. You're done.
Instead of boring you with another 2,000 words, I've attached two pictures instead.
