Some notes from my experiences with the wiring harnesses over the rudder pedals- figure out the geometry so you don't have to put the pedals in twice.
There is a 1/2" gap between the rudder pedal shaft and F1201B, set by the thickness of the F1235A block. The MS21919-DG6 rubber is 1/8" thick *2, so you need to get your wires out through a 1/4" gap. Since my wire bundle was 1/2" in diameter, the bundles need to be flattened.
Van's said the clamps could face outwards instead of inwards, which is good, since if facing inwards and flattened, the clamps will have too small of a gap to reinstall the rudder pivot block. If your flattened 3/8" clamp wont hold all the wires, get a larger one, don't flatten the coax or static line! You don't want the wires rubbing on the rudder shafts, either.
On page 31-14, there is a good drawing of the bundle coming down- notice it passes down 3" aft of the firewall, somewhat between the rudder horns.
When I torque the rudder shaft bolts (6) my rudders get stiff. Are nutplates rated to not unscrew if the bolts are not torqued to spec? Do the rudder pedals need to be free like pendulums?
Also, on P31-14 is pin 7 WH-S1 supposed to be the ground for the music?
