Just an interesting comparison.
I having apart my sons Sunfish rudder to make bushings for the 2 volt holes that are elongated. The hull was made in the year before the changed to the curved new style hull edge. It has the aluminum rudder bracket.
The part is the tiller to rudder bracket side pieces. You can see my sons on top vs the 1996 bracket with a plastic rudder bracket. My sons is very worn. I think his boat was used a lot in the past based on condition of parts. But it was also well taken care of too.
You can see the wallowed out holes I will be making some custom bushings to fill. I will drill out to round the make a bushing to fit tight. In plastic too.
Just some observations on a rain day in NJ.
I was just thinking, if someone has a pair they want to sell I would be interested. One of the brackets has a oval pivot hole. I can fix them, but it would not likely look pretty.
