Glenn, The quadrant ( or radial drive wheel) and rudder post should have a precision interference fit which is made by having the bore of the quadrant machined .002-.003” undersized. In this way, the clamping tolerance prevents the quadrant from slipping on the post. Any key and keyway cut into the post and quadrant is designed as a failsafe to prevent slippage if there is an impact or if the clamping bolts somehow became loose. If your quadrant is moving on the rudder post and is clamped tightly to the post, the quadrant is damaged and needs to be replaced. You will need to provide a precise measurement of your post taken with a set of calipers or micrometer. Measure the width of the rudder post keyway as well and source a key to match. Never rely on a piece of key stock to prevent steering slippage between the post and quadrant. Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 35 Landfall Padanaram, MA
