[rebel-builders] Floor boards flexing
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:58 pm
Charlie.. if you can live with it.. consider.. extra weight.. is weight...
that you won't have in the tanks that makes the heavy thing up front make
noise!
If you can't live with it.. many have used numerous pieces of the 5/8 tube
from firewall to carrythru and another layer of aluminum on top for a double
floor. PITA when it comes time to install amphib hydraulic lines.. I can
tell you that. Others have installed pieces of witches hat under the cabin
in the same areas ... picking up the delrin block bolts for the pedals.

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.
