Interested as well. Not a big fan of putting anything near the pedals.
Height doesn't seem like it really matters, inseam is probably a better indication of the need for something.
29" and in Tomkk's -12 with the seat in the forward position, I did not feel comfortable that I could use the brakes effectively. I did feel ok with the rudder stop to stop. Tom set me up with a 1" thick pad to move me forward that came from Abby and it was perfect.

I have the Van's extensions and they are great. Very strong, solid and secure. They are bolted on and I never have to worry that they will fall off or loosen.

Are they bolted by design? How long does it take to get them off? Thanks.

My extensions, purchased from Vans in 2016, clamp onto the pedals. Clamping force comes from an integral spring (really hard to explain!). I've used them for 80+ hours without any concerns or loosening. I suspect moving the seat back/cushion forward would produce the same effect.

Thanks Barry. Are they quickly removed or will removal require wrenching?

I use the ones Vans sells. I think they are great. They did come off once before I learned to not put too much pressure on the bottom of the pedal.

RV-12 Rudder Pedal Install
I purchased Van's RV-12 rudder pedal extensions and don't understand how to install. A video would be really nice.

Aerosport Products Solution
We offer rudder pedal extensions at Aerosport Products. We 3D print them on our industrial HP Multi-jet Fusion 3D Printer out of PA12 Nylon. This is a real-deal machine that prints in production material, not the toys that most people seem to be amazed by. We can make them as large as you would like and can also customize them with N-number or whatever else you would like. Feel free to contact me for more info.
More info on the printer that we have. If you have any other projects, we would love to help.

Nice looking parts, but this thread is in the RV-12 forum.
The extensions being talked about are for an entirely different purpose and fit on an entirely different rudder pedal design.
