Brake pedal access opperation

3 posts in this topic

Posted

On my Avid Mark IV the location for the rudder and brake pedals are under the overhang of the firewall.  The top of the brake pedal is close to the bottom of the firewall overhang.  I find it difficult to access the brake with my toes on a 1/2 inch round pipe (the brake pedal)  and have a solid place to apply pressure.  I plan to try and attach a 3/4 flat metal plate ( a U channel) to the round pipe to provide a better surface (flat and 1/4 " larger). 

Let me know if I am the only one with this issue and if not what did you do?

I'm  not sure on Avids  but on my kitfox I had to shorten the rudder cables to give clearance for my big feet

Thanks Dusty,  There was another hole in the rudder cable linkage plate that moved the pedals/brake out from under the overhang.  I tried it and it seemed to solve the problem.

Thanks.
