Any way to get a rudderpost head for E35-2?

[RedHerring]

Is there any place I could try to get a rudderpost head for E35-2 from? You may also think of it as the emergency tiller fitting in the cockpit.

The one I have, a chunk of it is missing, which is supposed to limit how far the rudder will turn.

I think you are going to have to find someone parting out an 35-2. I came across a guy on ebay who was selling lead ingots made from an e35-2 keel. Long story short, last I checked he still had the mast, boom, stanchions, etc. He trashed the hull and most of the boat but had kept parts he thought he could sell. With any luck he still has the rudder/rudder post. That is such a sweet chunk of metal, how could anyone scrap that thing? I will message you his contact info.

On another note, if you cannot find a replacement, you might be able to have someone TIG weld the missing chunks (or something similar) back on.
