Jon,
This is a problem that appeared
on some of the 320/360 kits manufactured in the late 90's also. The
flanges in the center of your torque tubes are probably mis-aligned, like mine
are:
I think I measured the gap at 0.005" or something
like that. I was able to fill in the gap, but if you look closely, you'll
notice a vertical offset also, so I'm still hosed. Now, I can anchor both
ends and one side in the center. I'll probably end up
refabricating both torque tubes from scratch.
If you only have the mis-alignment without the
offset, you can fill that gap with just about anything (expired Hysol, JBWeld,
etc) since that assembly is under compression when assembled.

Legacy guys,
What's the secret to getting the flap torque
tubes to turn without binding?
