Legacy guys,
 
What's the secret to getting the flap = torque=20 tubes to turn without binding?  My torque tubes appear to be = straight but=20 when I bolt them together and put them in the brackets, the tubes = travel up=20 and down when rotated.  Do the torque tube flanges need to be = "trued"=20 or is it as simple as having to bend the brackets?  Anybody = else=20 have trouble with this?
 
Thanks,
