[Alberg30] Re: gudgeon(s)

Gordon, when I was renovating Valency #272, one side was missing. They are a 
two-part fitting with the rudder stock as the pintle. I could not find one 
anywhere, so had to have a pair custom made. I don't know if it is possible, 
but I would consider having yours welded or brazed or whatever they do to 
bronze. A lesson for everyone else, these are bolted onto the hull with 
flat-head bolts. Over time the bolts heads are eaten away due to 
electrolosis and then the oiece falls off. They are expensive and hard to 
come by, so everytime your boat is hauled, this should have a careful 
inspection and the bolts replaced as necessary.

I assume the gudgeon halfway up the rudderpost is a 2-piece item, bolted
through from both sides. The pintle is actually the rudderpost itself,
clamped between the halves of the gudgeon.

     My port side gudgeon has a hairline crack between the screws or
bolts. Is there a source for these parts? Can one be successfully
brazed?
