Nice solution! I plan to pull the rudder for another repair, so I'll give it a go. Thanks!
I thought about that - the problem is that the fit is very tight and a larger bolt head will preclude tightening with a box wrench.
For a Mk III - one of the two bolts that holds the aluminum casting (the one that prevents the rudder from swiveling 360 degrees) onto the rudder post is stripped. I have an idea on how I could deal with this and would like some opinions:
I though the easiest fix would be to drill the top bolt hole through the stainless steel rudder tube and use a long bolt to hold the casting securely to the post. The lower bolt is the stripped one, and I thought I could fashion a stainless steel strap to hold it in place with the top bolt.
Any thoughts on this approach??
