I'd like to go back to the rudder-shoe setup (winter project). The gap between the keel and the rudder is a mega pot warp magnet. However, I'm not finding anyone who still makes bronze rudder shoes. I've checked Bristol Bronze, Spartan Marine, Davey & Co. with no luck. Any other sources??
Even if I can't find a rudder shoe, I bet I could fabricate something to attach to the end of the keel that spans that gap, but would still like to get some bronze pintle-gudgeons, of which I can't find anything larger than dingy sized hardware.
