Shawn,
Attached is pictures of my emerg tiller. Thanks for reminding me about
it, since it is rarely pulled out of the port cockpit locker. The
bolt/nut is corroded and needs to be cleaned up so it can be tightened
on the post. Let me know if you need dimensions.

This thread reminds me that I still haven't finished fabricating the
e-tiller for my 35-2. I think I asked a while back, but if anyone has
a photo of an original 35 mk2 tiller, I'd love to see it. It is quite
different from the mk1, since the rudder post is behind the pedestal.
What came with the boat is a thick steel plate that clamps on the
rudder post, then a vertical aluminum pipe to bring the height to
almost above the wheel, ending in a "T" welded to the pipe. I have a
few ideas on how to make a tiller to attach to "T", but am still
curious to see what an original looks like.
Oh, and my re-wiring job that is quickly progressing to a complete
teardown of the boat has almost reach the steering gear, so an
inspection under there is imminent. Things looked good in terms of
nicely greased and clean, but the issue of cable damage caused by
rudder turning too far needs to be checked - my rudder turns beyond 45
degrees at full lock.
