Help please

I am in the cart at the moment as my rudder mounting got badly damaged and I need to replace them.
I have put an ad in the wanted section http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=317537
but no luck as yet , and I want to go sailing before the autumn sets in

Would be helpful to have pictures of them. It is quite possible they are standard items, but on the other hand if they are stainless fabrications it should not be difficult to find somebody to make them.

Will the seller of the ones you found in the US not post to the UK or something?

Have you tried dinghy fitting suppliers for something that might do. Could you use pintles and gudgeons
eg http://www.allenbrothers.co.uk/item.asp?cat_id=9&prod_id=89
and http://www.allenbrothers.co.uk/item.asp?prod_id=88&cat_id=9

6 pages of stuff to choose from here http://www.sea-sure.co.uk/index.asp...udder Fittings&cct=0&TypeSearch=&subcat=&pg=0

Thanks chaps

Many thanks for the links.
Allen bros are a little bit light weight as my rudder takes a bit of a bashing
RWO do some good stuff as do Sea Sure but both lack the open type transom gudgeon.
To get a set ( over £100 )and have to adapt .
Sorry to say but I am on a budget ( this year) that does no allow for such a high price
I was hoping for second hand too see me through this season.
I have put pictures in the wanted ad.

the top 1 looks simlar to a sonata type but but looking at them if you got some stainless steel channel the right size a vice hacksaw file and a drill it isnt to hard to make i made mine for a sonata the hardest bit was getting the holes dead inline through the pair and the hole and pintail the exact size but thats only really crucial on a racing boat

Just had a look at the pictures you posted, that looks like a pretty simple item to have fabricated at your local engineering work shop.Have also considered getting the old set repaired and beefed up to last the season?
It would have to be a lot cheaper than new shiny ones.

Good luck and fair winds.

MadH, are galvanised gate fittings any use ?

I am not sure of the sizes you need.
