Well, it doesn’t really look like I did any work on the rudder pedals at this point – but, trust me, I did. As a sample of building – here are the 13 steps (abridged):
RUDDER PEDALS 1. Final-Drill #12 the outboard two 1/8 holes in the end plate of the WD-817 Rudder Slide Bar 2. Final-Drill #12 the two 1/8 holes in the flange of the WD-818 Rudder Socket. 3. Insert the tube of the WD-817 Rudder Slide Bar fully into the WD-818 Rudder Socket and temporarily bolt them in place on the forward cockpit floor and Firewall Assembly 4. Match-Drill #12 one of the 1/8 holes in the WD-818 Rudder Socket into one wall of the WD-817 Rudder Slide Bar. Match-drill #12 the hole in the opposite side. 5. Final-Drill 1/4 the hole in the WD-816 Rudder Slide that receives the F-8103E Lock Pin 6. Put the F-8107 Slide Collar and WD-816 Rudder Slide in place on the WD-817 Rudder Slide Bar. 7. Temporarily bolt the WD-818 Rudder Socket to the WD-817 Rudder Slide Bar. 8. Drill a #30 hole in the top of the F-8107 Slide Collar and WD-817 Rudder Slide Bar. Install a blind rivet in the #30 hole. 9. Put the WD-804 Rudder Pedals in place on the WD-816 Rudder Slide. Check that both rudder pedals pivot smoothly with no binding. 10. Place an F-874 Rudder Pedal Slide Block on the outboard ends of the WD-816 Rudder Slide 11. Clamp the bottom flange of the WD-818 Rudder Socket to the edge of a flat worktable with the bottom surface of the two F-874 Rudder Pedal Slide Blocks resting flush on the table surface. 12. Match-Drill #12 the hole in the forward side of the F-874 Rudder Pedal Slide Blocks into one wall of the WD-816 Rudder Slide tube. Match-drill #12 the hole in the aft side of the rudder pedal slide blocks into the opposite wall of the rudder slide tube. 13. Unclamp the WD-818 Rudder Socket from the table edge, then remove the F-874 Rudder Pedal Slide Blocks and the WD-804-L & -R Rudder Pedals from the WD-816 Rudder Slide.
Here we are so far - yes, this is the "after" shot
