One solution i have seen is to get a thin sheet of 'tufnol', about
1/16 to 1/8 inch, cut out a rectangle to cover the hole by about 1 cm
all round. Measure and cut out 2 holes for the rudder pedal tubes,
allowing a slight clearance, and then with a thin blade cut
horizontally through the tufnol from one side almost but not quite to
the other side.

You can then spring the tufnol apart and slide it over the tubes. Bond
with your favourite resin and go play with your pet crocodile while it
dries.
