To group,
A few months back, maybe several now, there was some discussion about the geometry of the rudder cable to the rudder attach u bracket. I know that the group had come up with a good solution but here is another easy off the shelf solution. Dave up in New York suggested it and this should work very well. Replace you U bracket with a male rod-end. The hole has a 10-32 plate in the rudder, so a standard 10-32 male rod end will work great. Use a washer and jam nut under the rod-end. The rod end will end up putting the pivot slightly farther forward than the u bracket. It may be necessary to re-adjust your cables, and in extreme cases shorten the threaded portion of the cable slightly to fit properly into the turn-buckle. If you don’t have an issue than don’t worry about it, if you do this can be a very good solution.
Nick

Hi Nick,
That's OK as far as it goes but what do you use to get from the rod end to the cable which has a single tang on the end? A bolt through the rod end and then through the cable end?
