Rudder kit means lugging around 7 lbs.extra forever.! Compromises the foot brake.
Takes away foot room. Rudder control via the feet is not required to fly an Ercoupe. JUST DON"T DO IT. I would venture to say there are more Ercoupe's out there that are original than those with rudder pedals.
The modification falls in the same classification as a nose gear extension snubber.
Totally unnecessary.
Fred Wieck knew what he was doing. Respect his creation.
Have you read The Ercoupe by Stanley G. Thomas. Buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy. Required reading for every Ercoupe owner.

Did you get your rudders re-installed? I am just now starting the same project- reinstalling rudder pedals. My first "attempt" was a FAIL. The top of the angled plywood (that has the rudder pedals) is maybe 2"-3" from the firewall. I suspect the problem is the brake arm lever on the main floorboard - wrong position - too far rearward. Any thoughts? Thanks...

Do you have the parts? I removed them from my E mod and that was easy. Then gave them away. There is really not much to them. 1) did not like using the parking brake handle to stop the airplane. 2) I did not like the cable cover on the floor. Even on the Alon they ( rudders ) are not all that they could have been with larger rudders. Just one bolt in the mask to remove and hook up the rudder pedals cables. Pretty simple.
