Wing Anti-Rotation Pins

[Bob Kane]

How about using an adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing over the dowels? It would help cushion the vibration.

I'm considering adding CF tubing on the outside of my hardwood dowels, and then installing matching "sockets" out of CF in the fuse sides (wood structure, no adjusters).
    Anybody with any thoughts about this to reduce wear and slop??

Bob, your method will work however let me suggest that surface area is a big contributor to the wear factor.  In the past, I have done what you are planning but went to a larger dowel and socket and found the wear occured much slower.  Doubling the diameter increases the wear surface dramatically with no increase in the vibration wear factor.
