Anyone know of a good Australian contact to source a 250mm long tiller arm for an underdeck rudder stock to autopilot linear actuator join? I'm ringing around with not much luck trying to find a tiller arm and get the bore machined with a keyway.

I can get a machined Edison one from the US but it's pricey and will take a while.

Excellent company here would be very surprised if they can't do it.

Went Edson, 2/3 the cost of any quote got from any Australian, delivered in 1/3 the time.

A nice reassuring hunk of cast bronze.

Looks like an interesting company.

Here is the link if anyone is interested

I'm not surprised that you struggled to find an Australian company to make that tiller block less than $Boat dollar.
