Floor boards flexing
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:58 pm
Hello All
I have my rudder pedals installed and the control cables rigged and when I
set in the seat and move the rudder pedals full travel, the plastic rudder
blocks rotate about 1/8" and cause an un-acceptable flexing of the floor
boards.
I am sure most have experienced this problem. I am considering reinforcing
the floor boards with some .032 x 5/8 sq. Al. tube, running from the
firewall back to the cabin carry through then rivet it to the two inboard 2
x 5 doublers and the floor boards. Will this be an adequate fix? Would
really appreciate suggestions are a proven solution.
