Nice work!

There was the little bolt and nut assembly to secure the pedal to its attachment shaft, and the mounting angles and dimensions of the pedals appear to be the same (though I am guessing the two sets of pedals are closer together on the 150 vs the 172RG that my pedals came from).

hey Matt
check out pedals that I have... Instead of the stupid hardware and bolts
as a pivot (they dont do that function well) use two air cylinders and
cross connect them.. you should know that they will self center as they
follow the laws of fluid dynamics....
http://phoenixcomm.wordpress.com/projects/pilot-controls-gro up/rudder-pedals/
you can use pedals that have to brakes on them if you want them..
you can pick up some pedals on ebay.. for less than 150 bucks
