That's a Prindle part. The Nacra version looks like this:

And yes you will have to cut down the tiller connector if you can't achieve the toe in you desire with the amount of adjustment you have. The trick is to cut down the tiller connector such that zero toe in/out is at the center of the available thread. For me that's about one inch exposed thread, one inch thread up in the female part. I assemble the male portion to the tiller connector with epoxy and one 1/8" aluminum rivet and it's plenty strong. No need to go crazy or weld it on as I've seen some do plus you can remove it and reuse it with a bit of effort.

The adjustable end caps are getting hard to find and are no longer offered new. If you really want a fast boat and I know you do, search eBay for one of the very rare Ackermann end caps.
