I removed my rudder in the fall and was surprised to find no bearings. The thing was just hung through a fiberglass tube with a pin up at the top of the rudder post. The pin rested on top of 2 quarter inch thick washers. That was it, simple and easy. The hardest part was removing the quadrant for the wheel steering. I took some measurements and I'm going to try and have some new washers made up. I'm going to try and have bushings made for top and bottom that actually slid up into the tube but, I really don't think it is necessary, it's just me over thinking things again.
Maybe you could take some photos of your rudder and post them somewhere?

My recently acquired '78 29 MK1 is on the hard with bottom, now clean as a baby's booty, ready for paint. There's a rust looking substance on and around the rudder. Where could this be coming from? Is it possible to remove the rudder and replace bearings, bushings and the like? Where can I find replacement parts? Any advice, or help - I can have an endless supply of beer - will be appreciated.
