replacing gimble rings and dont need the tiller arm is there anything to put in there to take its place , stainless washers ???

I suppose you could do that. I replaced mine with an Imco ring. The kit included a nice spacer to take the place of the tiller arm. maybe Imco would sell you just the spacer?

Could just cut the tiller extension off

I do have Imco gimble ring kits coming I didnt know what came with the kit .

Sounds like you'll be set then.

Excellent , thanks just getting ahead of myself .
