Brief Description: Expensive brake pedal screwup

It turns out I made a big mistake drilling the brake pedals which I didn't realize until the 4th pedal, which I installed correctly. I had flipped the pedal tube around so that the match hole for drilling was outboard of the tube instead of inboard. I can't just flip and redrill because the holes are already drilled out to 1/4". So I ordered new pedals at $25 per and then decided, screw it, I'll order new tubes too at another $25. So I wait. Meanwhile, in Oshkosh, they're building a full RV-12 in one week.
