Lightbulb Cheap source for long pedal bolts

Found some AN3-57 bolts for $2/ea.

http://spenceraircraft.com/an3-57-s-...6-x-5-7-8.html

I did a quick test fit on my -10 pedals and it looks like this size will work well. I think the other models are close, are they AN3-56?

You can skip the bolts all together. I just bought some 304 stainless rod and drilled the endsfor cotter pins. A washer and cotter pin on each end keeps the pin in place. Quick and easy mod.

Default SS Rod

Yep, me too. 3/16" 304 or 316 stainless steel rod. Except I cut some threads on each end for a castle nut plus cross drilled for a cotter pin.
