[Alberg30] Tiller head fitting

[George Dinwiddie]

Yes, see http://www.alberg30.org/maintenance/Steering/TillerHead.html
You *may* be able to shim the gap between the H fitting and the rudder 
post and reduce the play.  Also put in a bushing, however, or the "ears" 
will continue to bend and your play will return.  If you replace the 
fitting, put in a bushing right away.  I didn't, and I quickly got play 
in the new fitting.
