Tom, good move on the name change!  Glad the pictures will be helpfull.  I 
haven't seen a rudder apart, but one old, neglected example in my yard, had 
the wooden pieces drifting apart.  It was made of more or less verticle 
boards, with what appeared to be long pins connecting them.  My Ariel had an 
arrangement much like that.  I drifted the pins in with a hammer and large 
punch, and the boards tightened up. ( I also classed it over)   Also might be 
very long threaded bronze rods, I'm not sure.  but the rudder can be 
constructed with mahogony, and glassed over, if you like.  Guess you'll have 
to inprovise.  Long threaded rods, bronze or stainless, brased or welded to 
the rudder shaft would work.  you have to carefuly drill the boards , then 
slide them on.  About 3, I would guess, then counter sink slightly at the 
trailing edge, and use nuts to tighten.  YOU CAN DO IT
