i think this would be worthwhile to explore if the rails are opening up from the original installation/drawing dimensions.
i think larry's vertical support failure was a combination of overtightnening of the belts, no washer under the nut, and perhaps a bur developed and propagated into a crack. washers are there to be the load bearing surface and keep the fretting/friction damage from the loaded structure/assembly.
A simple test for all RW tail rotor on sliders is to grab the tail rotor hub ands ee if you can move it up and down, if so then the turnbuckle idea is a solution
