tilt tube steering to transom mount?

In the urge to go cheap, I am trying to figure out how I can use my rotary steering that originally went through the tilt tube on 87 evinrude. I'm trying to replace the 30 year old rack system that is transom mounted (no tilt tube on the chrysler). I have looked at placing the metal end of the hose in the transom mount bracket with some shim rubber (it's about 1/16 of an inch too small of a hose to be tightened down in place. Is this likely to break something?
Thanks

i rekon I should have looked 5 minutes longer before asking, found a transom mount support tube that lookes like it'll get the job did. $20 instead of $200 for a whole new kit.
