I had a similar problem when carrying out this task a few weeks ago.
The whole Rudder to Housing area has caused some consternation due to
when Stern Post and the Fin 'Cap' fitted the resulting 'joggles' gave
quite a thickness. I made the Rudder fit with some help and advice from
My Inspector and some careful use of Permagrit Tool. It is now in
position and connected using Graham Singletons 'pushrod' and with all
deflections meeting build requirements. I'm sure you will get more
technical advice but the main consideration was strength and clearance.
The other additional requirement is to trim top of Rudder to allow full
movement. I'll enclose a photo (direct e-mail) to you so you can see my
results.
Kind Regards
