The steering and it's components "C".
To mount the casing end a standard 7/8" - 14 unf bolt 3" long was modified. Pic c10. My method to align the components was to use a threaded rod with circular rings that fits into all the holes. These rings was just hex nuts turned down to suite. Pic c20 and c30.
Pic c50 shows the casing end mounted with the link bar activating the tiller arm, which is bolted onto a boss which is bolted onto the rudder post. A bearing block supports the rudder post above the tiller arm boss.
Just sticking out the bronze water gland is visible. A nylon insulator was used to help prevent galvanic action.
A large drawing was made to determine the geometry to ensure there is equal rudder movement from left to right.
