I have been looking for some pictures to show what I should do to make some rudder pedals - don't much like the pipe - too narrow, shall I just make some wood or aluminum blocks and self tap screw on. Also I think I have seen plates at the bottom for ones heels, is that the thing to do?



Help appreciated

I know what you mean looking at the standard rudder pedals. I thought the same but in use I have never had a problem. They are fine.

Sorry can't remember where you are based but I used two footplates produced 

by Ripspeed in the UK. They are lightweight aluminium and have ridges and 

holes for fitting to the pedals - non slip and ideal for the Europa. The 

only problem is you have to buy them in 3s as they are for cars.

Hi! Graham.

The rudder pedals (crude though they look) work just fine ....if it "ain't

broke don't fix it" with more weight !
