You need the one on the right to hook to the rudder cable. The left one could probably go away.

That should work.
Gear's the Problem!
Switch to a tail dragger and be rid of that volume eating, trip-'n-fall, jungle gym main gear support structure.
I'd be wanting to reinforce the remaining leg with the rudder cable attachment. That's a pretty long moment arm and more than just air pressure when right rudder hits the stop.

I was thinking of re welding the right one to make it more narrow.
If you brace the right side of the right pedal behind the existing tube, and then cut off the remaining pedal and the left pedal about 2 inches down from the weld, you could make another set of pedals that would swing off of the horizontal tubing and would contact the 2 inch stub and work the rudder as normal, but would swing out of the way when not needed.
