 |
|
Fellow listers,
Are there any secrets to fitting the fiberglass rudder bottom cap? I'm cleaning up a bunch of little things that I have been putting off and I have come to this chunk of plastic.
Its not cut in a straight line although the bottom of the rudder is - that's one issue. There does not appear to be a mold line to cut to either.
The other issue is cutting out the forward notch for the rudder throw arms. I've seen this done a couple of different ways - the one that comes closest to what I would like to do is cutting the horizontal line of the rudder arms forward and putting in a few nutplates to screw it back together after it is installed.
I don't recall reading anything in the instructions on how this is to be accomplished (OK - I'll read them again to be sure). I can make a template of the area that it fits to - but how do you ensure that both sides are symmetrical?
Any explicit instructions or photos would be greatly appreciated.
