P32 / Re: Worn Rudder Pivot plate

Ordered and received the new screws nuts and washers from Albany County Fasteners. You can order in single units, and shipping and handling is realistic. Jamestown sold by the box, and shipping was ridiculous
Had the part welded with silicon bronze by Eugene @ 5 Star Welding. Wasn’t cheap, $200, but was necessary.
See below the welded part. Now to locate center, measure the diameter of the rudder pin, and drill a new hole.
I found the ground wire to the bolts rusted off. Wondering if this is what caused the excessive wear to The bronze..
