My understanding at least for the 35mkiii is that the rudder post is suspended by the threaded "nut" that is on top of the cockpit sole. The delrin washer under that nut is what acts as the bearing and wears over time. The quadrant should be well clear of the top of the tube and not need a bearing under it. I have a delrin bearing on top of the rudder itself and between the rudder and hull and can only dummies that this is there in case wave action lifts the rudder
