Glen, thanks, I looked on Ebay, it looks very different from mine. my broken one rides well up from the tail wheel spring, the one on Ebay looks like it might hit the spring. Thanks tho, Fred

Fred,
If you don't find a rudder arm somewhere else, it is very easy to sand or machine 1/16 inch of of the one in the catalog.

If you have a good shaft there might just be someone here who has a drawing and picture of a really solid one made up from the original shaft and some 1/4 inch bar stock. Where did your's break? Think he would tell you that it works perfect and is considerably stronger than the original.
You would need to have some machining and welding done. Was pretty simple I hear.
I bought one of the 3/4 inch ones. Thought about cutting it down. Cast aluminium. Scary.
