I am trying to come up with a way to move the lower part of the rudder pedals more rearward. Vans has you drill two sets of mounting holes for the F1039B bearing block mounting plate. This allows you to install the UPPER part of the rudder assy in a more rearward position. this unfortunately does not help the LOWER part of the rudder pedal. My wife is also a pilot and not a tall person, so the rear position is what I chose. The only problem is the rudder cables are cut for the foward position and are now too long for the rearward position. I am left with either ordering a 1" shorter set of cables ($$) or trying to shorten the F-10104 rudder cable links called out on page 38-10. Doing the latter will only buy me about 1/2".
I have already added the pedal grips from JD air parts on the cross piece below the brakes. While this helps the rudder issue, it does not move the brake any closer. I really don't want to add any blocks to the pedals. Way to inconvenient.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I spend the $$ on new cables?
