Adding rear rudder pedals

I am wanting to buy an already complete RV-8. Rear controls are a must for me. How hard would it be to add rear rudder pedals to an already completed airframe? (it already has throttle and stick) I see one I like but it is missing that one item. Thanks
 
Couple hour project with Vans parts. I say that for QB fuse, not sure if slow build kit made same provisions. Look at build manual to get familiar.
 
they are not difficult to retro-fit, but I think you would be disappointed in them. You should see an -8 that has them installed first before you decide to go through the bother.
 
No brakes on mine, would be possible but an interesting challenge to do neatly... Under the floor might work...

Front seat is also in very close proximity...
 
I removed mine, they are awful, get in the way, useless in my opinion! Hope you fit something far better cause it ain't what vans are that come under the heading of clever!
