62 Mercury 450m tiller arm - original part scarce

[denise]

I am restoring a 1962 Mercury 450M and the tiller arm part was an accessory for that motor. I have searched for the original part and come across only 2-3 and missed out on purchasing it for various reasons. Is there a conversion that will utilize another tiller arm assembly without drastically affecting the restoration process that anyone can advise me with? Im searching non stop for the original part and miss it by seconds....hope to get some answers - thanks

Thank you Wisner1 but it will take a tiller from a 450 or 500 from what I have been told as of today and in looking at pics of both 450 and 500 tiller arms as well.
