Here are some photos of my Torque Tube being rebuilt by the guys at Augment Automotive.
The rebuild has been broadly a success, I have only had the car back for 2 days and covered 250 miles - I have to keep the revs down and avoid hard accelerations for 500 miles so half way there. So far it feels much smoother between gears with less random vibrations being thrown into the car while shifting or cruising at motorway speeds.
On cold start ups the tube used to make quite unpleasant scraping sounds which have now ceased. There is still a noise coming from the tube which is most audible when in an enclosed space parked stationary in natural... It's basically the sound of the bearings turning, not sure if this can be totally eradicated but it has massively improved from how it sounded before
