OK, I have now done the Europa modification No 62!
Amen.
Easy to write, but believe me - a hard job.
I did the fix according to the factory recommendations, but actually  
I feel that it's just a matter of time before the problem occurs again.
Think a better fix would have been to put AN5 bolts instead of the  
pins and to mill a aluminum plug which could slide inside the TP4  
torque tube and give you the possibility to tighten the arrangement  
together.
I am interested in comments from folks who have done this mod. the  
Europa way to hear from their experience.
