I managed to sneak into the workshop and actually get some work done!
I attached the rudder pedal slider bar (WD-818 and WD-817) to the floor and firewall. This was greatly complicated by the fact that the pre-installed platenuts seemed to have a mind of their own and did not accept the AN-3 bolts with anything resembling enthusiasm. I finally got it done with some Boelube and the help of a buddy. I think these platenuts will have to get a tap run through them before final assembly. I then drilled the attach bolt holes thorugh the shaft of the slider bar and the weldment.
Next, I began test-fitting my Matco MC-5 brake master cylinders to the pedal assembly. The design of the integrated brake reservoir might mean that if I use them, I'll have to modify the attach-tabs on the WD-816 weldment. Either that, or I'll make a spacer and use a longer bolt. Not sure yet.
The slider bar for the rudder pedals. It looked simple to mount. It wasn't.
The steel tab behind the brake cylinder might have to be trimmed along the black line.
This is one of the integrated reservoir-style brake cylinders I'd like to use.
