Searching for hardware
« on: February 15, 2011, 03:32:24 PM »
Good morning.
I am looking for a reliable source for Brass hardware for my NW 'America'. at the moment I need a new rudder pintle.
A new stainless one would work but I would kind of like to stay with original if possible.

Thanks :D

Brass is pretty soft.  You may want to go with bronze.

The original hardware was bronze.  Brass is incompatible with salt water.  I happen to have two sets of pintles and gudgeons that came from the original rudder on NoVela (1974 H. Harbor Pilot).  These both show wear but are usable.  Write if you're interested.
