In search for rudder pedals

[chopndrag 226]

I'm looking for a set of rudder pedals with brake resevoir attachments . I can use the drum style and fabricate them to use the resevoir but would rather not have to. I'm sure someone has to have a old set laying around on here . I plan on installing them in my quickie project. I'm also looking for a push pull throttle as I already have the avid 3 to one control arm . There's plenty of other parts I'm looking for like gauges and various other things. So basically if you have anything you're looking to sell let me know.

I  have a set of pedals and control sticks out of a B model. They were set up for cable brakes though.

Incidentally the brake geometry on stock avids sucks anyhow.

Got any pictures of the stuff ? My stock pedals work great in my mk4

I’m now in this same market looking for pedals, I’ve pinged some people about it, I may end up just making my own out of chromoly. If I decide to make a set I can likely put together two sets for whatever cost of material is.

I could too. I'm a tig welder by trade but I like how the avids are and I don't feel like taking mine out to get the measurements. That will lead to me powder coating them and I already have half a garage of 152 parts to powder coat for someone at the airport.

Well it seems that two of you want/need rudder pedals, and two of us have them for sale.  I don't want to step in front of Bob, so contact him first,  but if the other guy PMs me about mine, I can get them headed your way.  Making them from scratch is possible, but will take quite a bit of work.  Different in the factory, where they have all the lengths and angles already figured, maybe precut even, and the welder guy just grabs stuff, throws it into a jig and starts welding.  You could very well spend the better part of a day, have $20 or $30 in materials when you could buy a set for maybe double that.   Looks like there is close to 6' of materials, and it's probably about $3.50 a foot at least.  And then add it 20 for shipping.....JImChuk

Jim since we already have a relationship and we where both second do you wanna send me a pic of your pedal assembly? Assuming 1-4 avids run similar pedal setups

I'll take whatever from whoever it doesn't matter to me . I'll be doing some modifying anyway and then powder coating them with the grip powder I have for the brake parts and just black for everything else .

This is the grip powder I'll be using on my brake pedals in my planes . My bike is suicide shift and my clutch and brake have it. Stuff works great no complaints at all.
