Same as Oly,

Get an old ruddr stock that fits on the pintles of the 14, then draw round the top of the lifting blade on your fixed blade then just simply cut it out, make sure you drill the hole in the right place (USE SAME PRINCIPLE AS ABOVE)  thats it really! I wouldn't  make a dagger board style rudder, i tried recently and it was more work then its worth in the end i just made a pivoting stock!
