OK. Now what shape is the sail? Three sided or four?

You'll need pintles for the new rudder, so measure the diameter of the holes
in the gudgeons. Make sure one pintle is longer than the other -- it makes
hanging the rudder MUCH easier.

Check out

Pintles

I couldn't tell if your gudgeons were bronze or stainless. I'd match the
material.

The tiller will give you an opportunity to get creative. Attaching it to
the rudder can be done in many ways. I'll send you a photo of the scheme
prescribed by Danny Greene for Chameleon, a nesting dinghy I built. Note
that the tiller is pivoted at the rear of the rudder head and slotted to fit
down over the rudder. No high stress fittings required and it folds to stow
neatly. (The photo was taken during construction and it looks better with
paint and varnish applied.)

The daggerboard (now that I know the difference) space is about 1" X
11".
