I use a pair of 3/4" PVC tubing on the passenger side.  They have "T"'s 

cut out to accommodate the "T" shape in the peddles.  Simple, light and 

cheap.

I made a 'T' bar from plastic waste pipe, about 1.25 in diameter. I

trimmed the ends of the cross bar so they sit over the rudder pedals and

glued a short vertical piece of pipe on the end of the 'leg'.  I cut

half this away so it sits against the stick and I hold it in place with

a bungee cord which I fixed under the panel. The bungee just loops over

the stick. It not only stops the rudder from banging about but

stabilises the ailerons and tailpane also. In very strong winds it can

shake loose but for most conditions it works a treat.  Took me less than

an hour to make, weighs only a few ounces and cost very little.
