Hi Dave,
We need a little more information. Are you posting your project? Do you have questions about how to do it?
Also, it would help folks respond more usefully if you add your model number, year, and engine details to your signature. Click on your avatar/name in the blue bar up above; go to 'signature' on the left side. If you're who I think you are, it's a 35-3.
Cheers,
Jeff

Pictures help. What's the problem with the existing pedestal? If it is a corroded base, there are workarounds.
Most of our boats rigged originally with Yacht Specialties/Merriman steering units still function pretty well. Parts however have to be second hand, as Ys/Merriman is long out of business. Edson parts are usually not compatible.
Changing the whole system to Edson will be expensive. There may be repair options.

If you decide to go the repair route, reach out to Anchors and Oars/Sailboat Parts in Grasonville, MD. I've had him ship me several parts to Kansas. Tell him what you're looking for and if he doesn't have it currently, he can keep an eye out from future boats he salvages.
