I'll try the epoxy first. I want to be able to service them incase they need replacing. I suppose that the poxy would do an adequate job of holding them in place, and I could always press or punch them out if need be.

I test fit them today, WOW, I bet this is going to make WORLDS difference in the feel at the helm.

In all honesty, I need another set of rudder housings. These were beat pretty bad to the point of haveing a lot of clearance not centered in the origional hole. I got it as close as I could on a press, but next time (If I can find some housings) I'll use a bridgeport, index them to allow a bit more forward rake (which I could take out with the adjustment screw if need be), and do the press-fit and then ream to size.

Few in the local club would understand any of that, and it's nice to know I can find knowledgeable people online here at catsailor!

Thanks again,
Theo
