| I had some issues with scat tube. It's obviousl that the rudder cable arms cannot interfer with any other airframe parts. The tube |
|
| for the right side/heater valve front seats was solved by simply shortening the length of the scat tube. The left side / rear |
|
| seats/cabin, was solved by repositioning Van's support bracket to the left side, mounted lower and further forward this ensures |
|
| the tube is clear of and below the cables. Then I securred the rudder cables directly to the control arms, using an AN 6A bolt, |
|
| castelated nut and cotter key. If you mounted the pedal assembly further forward you could add some links to the arms similar to |
|
| Van's pedals. Next step was to reattach the Matco brake cylinders. This was the hardest part of the job. mostly because of |
|
| difficulty in access. the arms that the brake cylinders attach to are at the top fwd side of the assembly and have minimum |
|
| access, compounded by being upside down,under the panel and 110 degrees! Paul supplied 2 alternatives one being a clevis |
|
| pin and the other an AN - A bolt and castle nut. I used both and found the bolt took about half as much time to install as the |
|
| clevis pins. If you were doing this as an initial install, I would install the brake cyls before installing the assembly and you could |
|
| save hours!!!! One side effect of the new pedals is that the repositioned brake cylinders change the lengths of the brake lines. |
|
| the old/existing ones could be made to wrok, but I've decided to get the black teflon coated stainless steel braided lines from |
|
| Bonaco, and I'm taking with Brett about the lengths and config for the new lines. |
