Rudder Pedal covers
Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2020 2:36 am
Decided to dress up the rudder pedals this am and was surprised how quick it went. I've gone with independent brakes so had the rudder cross tie parts as surplus. Used surplus 3/4" tube to add 1" to pedal width and maximize tang length. I had almost shorted them.
I then took some .040, 4 3/8" wide and marked as in picture. Used a surplus piece if 5/8" metal tube and secured to bench. Bent curl around tube. These dimensions result in a very tight friction fit so I see no need for any rivets.
