Richard, The rudder pedal kits that steer the nosewheel with the pedals are the later Alon kits. The ERCO and Forney kits steer the nosewheel with the yoke. You've got a carpeted tunnel, huh? Well, that's probably why I never saw the cables on Coupe floors. I think most people have covered the tunnel with carpet. My Alon pedal kit cables were under the floor boards and I just assumed the ERCO kits did the same thing. As far as I know, there's no way to convert the ERCO or Forney pedal kit to steer the nosewheel with the pedals. I don't think it's a particular advantage, anyway, but that's just agreement with papa Fred.

Anton; Ed Burkhead; Coupe-List Subject: Re: [COUPERS-FLYIN] To rudder or not to rudder My cables are covered with a carpeted tunnel. I however do not have steering with the rudder pedals. Is that an addition to the pedal modification? I would like to find information on the rudder pedal steering. If any one has the information please contact me off line.
