On my Ercoupe that had rudder peddles the foot pedal was cut off and 
I just used the hand break. This seems a better idea then having 
three pedals on the floor. Also I had the floor cover for the cables 
but I didn't like it and I removed it. I may still have it in the 
hangar. I will look and see and if I still have it you can have it.
