Jon, I have hung my pedals from the "C" box at the fire wall with brake cylinders attached to the pedal arms similar to Larry Flesner's set up. I had to re-work the installation when I found the KR pedals were too narrow for my shoe to fit between the rudder pedal arm and the master cylinders. The brakes are toe actuated; so, keeping my heels on the floor, keeps the brakes off. I put a small spring on each pedal arm to keep a little tension on the rudder cables; this also keeps the rudder centered with in the breakout range. For the rudder, ring around cable tension (standard 40 pounds) is not needed on the KR. For elevator and ailerons it is definitely needed for cable systems. I have push rods to actuate the elevator and ailerons on my KR-2.
