Required Parts

• Vertical fin
• Hinge rod
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Drill
• Petroleum jelly
Step 1
Pass the rod with some low viscosity lubricant
through the rudder and vertical fin separately.
This will lubricate the hinges on each side
and help remove any dirt in the hinges.
Note, the rod is 1mm in diameter as seen in
the picture below.
Step 2
Iron the edges then line up the hinges on the
rudder and vertical fin.
Lubricate the rod with a low viscosity lubricant
and push it through the hinges. A drill would
make this easier. If binding, back out and
slowly push the rod through. Putting too much
pressure when binding would buckle the rod.
