loads on the rudder hinges and flanges.

I remember having seen a Europa classic tri gear with a rudder push rod
rather than the cable setup. I wondered whether this was a classic
feature, and why it was abandoned, because my kit came with the (ugly)
cable setup.
Was this part of your tailwheel mod?
Although my Europa is finished, I would still like to see the details
(and maybe it is possible to convert). That starboard external cable and
horn don't really belong on such a sleek aircraft.

Hi Frans
The rudder pushrod was part of the early kits with the original tailwheel,
which had a fitting for the tailwheel bolted on the front face of the rear
bulkhead.
If you really fancy it I should think you may find someone with an old
tailwheel to sell, though it is now a long time since they were superseded.
It would be a real pig of a job as you would be working in the back of the
fuselage and would need access to the rear face of the rear bulkhead. Also
the fitting is quite heavy.
Regards
Pete
