I have a problem with the ground adjustable rudder pedal installation.
The plans call for a distance of 15 1/4" between the outside edges of the aluminium angle that attaches to the floor. I can only achieve about 15 3/8" with the rudder axles I have got. Vans say that is adequate.
But now the holes in the angles at the corners of the assembly are sitting right next to or directly over rivets already placed in the angle next to the firewall and the F802 bulkhead near the landing gear.
I can't move the holes in the rudder pedal assembly angles enough to create the proper rivet spacing without losing edge distance on those angles.
Any thought s on fixing this. I have some photos I can email if you have any ideas.
Thanks
