The Mod plans called for some paper between the sleeves ( so BID tube is in contact only with sleeve's, not torque tube too ) then cellophane, Nev said spread some Redux on the sleeves, & wet out the BID with Redux on polythene and apply it on the tube, carefully removing polythene as required since you do 2 wraps BID.
The plans don't call for Redux but Nev said when bonding to metal it's a better choice, Aeropoxy can be just fine.
The plans available from Europa Club are well written.

dmac7 - thanks for your kind words about the TP5/TP6 mod promoted through the Europa Club. The late Nigel Graham wrote the original description and when I embodied it in my own build I did some minor editing and added photos to turn it into a document acceptable to LAA Engineering. I’m pleased to know that it is still of use.
I was in correspondence with LAA Engineering earlier this year after noticing some out-of-date stuff on the original document. My suggestion to amend it and submit a new version was accepted, but so far the new PDF I sent in has not made its way to the LAA website. I am happy to send the April 2022 Issue 2 PDF to anyone who would like to have it. I suppose it could go up on the Club website too . . . .
in friendship

Hello Roland, I will say work is one thing brilliant ideas an other, combined they are awesome!
The Europa community is really special, the quality of people involved in the Europa is second to none, we have had A12/SR71 pilots having chose it and others of very high caliber, the ideas coming from these builders and engineer's benefit's the group greatly, Nigel was one of that special breed.
I have been blessed to have had contact such people, they make you better.
I have a nice letter from Nigel written on a boxing day 2016 about how he would retrofit his mod to a already built aircraft. I could feel his love of the Europa in every word he typed.
Bud, Nev and Andy, Ivan, Graham, and many others who contributed ideas and aid have been a inspiration keeping me going. Many thanks to them all I read their words often.
