Hi All,

  

 With talk about blue plastic/corrosion and the cry to fill up bandwidth, though I would pass this along.

  

 Last night as I was cutting the large diameter aluminum torque tube for the control pushrods I found very light corrosion in one of them. 

 Any place else, I probably would have treated it and primed, but inside a closed, critical component called for replacement of the tube in my mind. 

 Called Van's and they will replace it without question. They are great to work with! 

  

 As a suggestion to others, it would be good to inspect the inside of the tubes for corrosion during construction of these parts before priming. 

 I maybe the only luck one but the thought of push rods corroding for the inside out over time is just scary.
