I have read that a lot of people replace the 2 single small bolts at the bottom of the brake pedals, with a single AN3-56 long bolt.
Is this a common thing to do on the -14, or is it more applicable to other models?
In addition, if i went this route, am i correct that there is no need to use a castellated nut and split pin? (as the bolt can now be torqued in position between the 2 ears of the rudder pedals, and would not be subject to rotation - the pedal would rotate on the bolt).
As an aside, i can't get any AN3-56 bolts locally here, so will likely try and cut some threads onto a 3/16" piece of stainless rod.
