I really think deep down I love working on these pedals. Just can move past them.
The new rudder pedal arrived this week so I went to work straightening the bow'd tubes trying very carefully not to kink them. I use the wood stairs in the garage as the are open type and spruce (soft wood) and I wedge the tube in the opening and I am then able to bend them into a relatively straight shape.
I had also ordered one new brake pedal since one of mine was quite scratched. I matched drilled it to my angles and then I took some time to clean up the lightning holes in all 4 pedals. that's more work than it sounds.
