replace the camshaft timing belt, water pump and idler pulleys. While it
is out, are there any mods/stiffeners or such that I should be doing to
the airframe?

Hi Ron,
I just finished doing just that on my Super Rebel last week. I attached the springs with an offset equivalent to the distance between the rudder pedal torque tubes.
Seem the way to do it to me, but I haven't hooked everything up yet.

Hi Ron,
This post came at a good time as I am just about to attach
my rudder
springs. I had not thought of using a tang to attach
the spring to
and provide for some adjustment - that is a great idea.
One thing I had been pondering though is this. One
set of pedals is
mounted 1.5" or so in front of the other so if the springs
are both
connected at the same point on the engine mounts then the
angle of the
springs relative to the pedals will be different and
although you can
balance them with the tang length at the neutral position I
would
expect the spring force to become un-balanced at any other
position.
I was thinking of mounting the springs at different points
on the
engine mount bracket so that they are at the same angle to
the pedals.
Maybe I'm over thinking this. Have you ever
noticed your right
pedal being any 'stiffer' than the left?
