Hi Folks,

Anyone know the diameter of the tiller crossbar of the H14/16 unfortunately I do not have access to either of my boats to measure at present.
Sadly currently laid up with lower back spasms so God only nows when I will get to them. Grrr :-(
Want info of measurement so I can design a 3d part on computer to allay my boredom and frustration, sick of the sight of daytime TV!

Thanks
SRG

Bit more info looking at designing and printing some contour washers for the tiller bar.
Looked on Ebay and found some located in the US priced $6.99 but shipping to UK is a whopping $48.50 :shock:

Cheers,
SRG

SRG: On my 2008 H16, the outer diameter of the crossbar is 1 1/8 inches.

Thanks Jerome, that sounds about right, my H16 is circa 1980's not sure if the later versions had revised sizes, I suspect not since from memory my H14 appeared to have the same diameter crossbar as my H16,

Thanks again.

I would think you'd be able to get these connectors from a European hobie dealer. The guy on ebay is selling a used part for the same price as new.
