Fuselage January 2006 Updates January 07, 2006 Rudder Pedals - 4 hrs Today is a perfect day for flying but! I drilled the side plates onto the pedals. Enlarged the bottom side holes to 3/16 to take the install bolts. Counter sunk all the rivet holes on the press. All of the rivets are flush on the pedals and the sides which give a clean look. Next I primed the pieces and once dry clecoed together. I used my pneumatic rivet squeezer to complete the pedals. Mounted 2 x 4's on the edges of the bench to jig up the rudder arms to get these rigged up with the master cylinders. I used the delrin blocks to hold the left and right rudder pedal assemblies in position. This allowed me to loose fit the brake pedals to the the assembly and attach the master cylinders. Turns out that the left pilot side pedal rubs against one of the welds on the left side rudder pedal assembly. Now I will have to call Vans on Monday and see if they will swap me out a new assembly. I could just grind off the weld but then it would trash the powder coating on the assembly. Also need to order the passenger brake kit also.
