thanks guys got a good bolt yesterday and it works like a charm. Drilled a saftey hole in one end and am using a cotter pin to secure it. a light line is a good idea though so i dont lose another one.
Anyone know off hand what size the pre '72 rudder pin is. I am going to make one froma brass bolt at the hardware store but dont know what size I should get. I guess I could take the whole rudder with me but I am lazy and dont want to have to go home after I leave work and then back to town to...

the middle picture shows where I was working on a section to see if I could get the original color to comeback, that was 220 grit dry then 220 grit wet 600 wet 1500 wet then buff with compound and it is still pretty blotchy and getting thin.
