Sure. All it is is a circle cut out of plastic with a hole in the center and some screws. You can't sail that way, but it has nothing to do with holding the rudder in the boat vertically. I took mine to the local plastics shop and had them make another. You want to err on the side of too tight, I had to do a little sanding to get my new one on. Speaking of rudder issues - check the collar down under the quadrant. That DOES hold the rudder in the boat and mine was made of iron with predictable results for a boat sailed in salt water :( For belt and suspenders redundancy, I added another collar above the bearing in the cockpit. McMaster sells stainless collars in the right sizes.

I'm getting some of the same movement at the top.
