cc19_rudder_plate_template_v2.pdf
Hello All,
I have attached version 2 of the template design for you all to print and check against your rudders.
This has taken feedback from two rudders checked against the version 1 template.
Please can all those interested in strengthening their rudders with this plate print and check this latest design version.
@Simon H, I know the template is not fully dimensioned, that is not necessary for this feedback iteration process. The CAD file is a fully constrained part with construction geometry based on dimensions provided by feedback.
Once we have confirmation everyone is happy with the design and that no further changes are required I will share the file and a fully dimensioned engineering drawing.
Please print the .pdf and check that the dimensioned line is 100mm long to calibrate the scale.
If this is not the case, your printer settings may be scaling the image. Check that the printer settings in your .pdf software are not scaling the print.
You can then cut out the template and check it against your rudder for fit and clashes.
The tiller pivot has been changed to M10 and the other bolts M8 as discussed.
If this template causes an issue with your rudder, then I need a precise markup of the problem to update the design.
The important point to note is the design is all dimensioned from the centre mark of the tiller pivot bolt hole (labelled on the drawing).
Therefore, if this template causes an issue with your rudder, you need to provide a marked-up copy of the template back to me with any new lines dimensioned from this centre mark position.
The reason for using this as the zero for dimensions is because this is the common centre point which will position the plate on all rudders.
Any questions please let me know.
Andrew
