I decided to change the shape of the pedal support and fiber glass over cut-outs that are not needed. Originally, the pedal support extended to the front of the cabin. I cut it short of the heater.
The pedal bound when the support was fastend to the cabin, so I purchased a some angle alum to mount underneath the support to ensure it does not bend.
I decided to mount the fuel filters using the main landing gear bolts (from the SH III) plans. I will need to purchase AN4-33 bolts to make that work.
