Has everyone been reversing the rudder pedal bolt directions from those shown in the plans per what Randy had to do. I tried this and didn't like the results as the nut touches the steel tube pedal frame as it rotates. Additionally its difficult to put the cotter pin on as there isn't much room. I am thinking of leaving it per the plans and checking the cotter pins in the preflight. Any suggestions / comments.

I put mine on with the nuts toward the tunnel during the inspection,
but reversed them after that, and just did a good job cleaning up
the cotter pins so they can't snag. Yes, the nuts face your shoes,
but no, I don't see it as a big issue and I've never had anything
even remotely be a problem with it.

I liked the idea of doing it as in the plans and just putting heat shrink over the nut and cotter pin so that it can not catch on the shoe. But I have not gotten to that type of finish work yet, it is on my very longggggggggg to do list.

When reversing the bolt on the rudder pedals I used an old helicopter
trick of tucking the loose ends of the cotter pins back into one of
the castellations to finish them off. This should keep your feet
from snagging on them.

Great idea Len, that would definitely help.
I actually skipped the cotter pins and used safety
wire and did the regular safety wire twist and curl
and tucked it in. So long as the nut doesn't turn,
and nothing snags, anything could be done. If it
weren't so "non-standard" in aviation, I personally
would just use a nyloc nut with only 1 thread
prodtruding, and then medium strength loctite on
the threads. Realistically there's no reason that
wouldn't work too.
