Rudder set-up
Posted: 05 Aug 2015, 20:49
Hi all,
Just been doing some mock fit ups on my clinker project....
Too sh#t scared to attempt glueing the ply deck panels at the moment
We've got a glorious ?! Melbourne winter happening and l recon it's
just too cold ...especially up here in the Dandenong Ranges.
Have managed to varnish Blackwood dash and other trim with a couple of coats
but it just takes forever......just hanging for a few more degrees and a little less humidity .
Now to the question at hand. ..
Setting up the cav plate and rudder/quadrant (external ) there seems to be quite a bit
of movement /slack where the rudder shaft goes through the cav plate.
Probably 3mm or so.
Should there be a bush here ?? Don't know how agricultural these set-ups normally are.
Any thoughts would be appreciated as l haven't had a chance to check out any in the flesh.
