[C38] Rudder packing

Russ

I don't know if you received the last, but if your speaking about the size of stuffing material, it's 1/2-inch.

  The discussion on the website is for getting the play out of the rudder
  tube.  This wasn't my question.  Because I have wheel steering, the rudder
  tube is cut open in the middle for attaching the steering quadrant, and
  there is a brass stuffing box on the top of the bottom tube that the rudder
  tube passes through.  This is where I need to replace the stuffing.

  Russ,
  There is a complete discussion (with sketches) for this repair on the 
  website.  Hope it helps.
