Have rescued a 1970 'fish. It has modern rudder gudgeons, but the spring pin is operated from the bottom (upside down?). The tiller looks authentic in shape and material but the bolts over the blade are positioned such that the forward end always scrapes over the stern deck. . . It's worn a crescent through the top glass layer.
The tiller extension (also oak or ash, stained to match the tiller) has a galvanized carriage bolt!
Is this original?
