Hi guys, I'm installing the starboard return spring & there clearly is'nt enough 'footwell' to mount the spring under any tension. Is it ok to fit a small extension piece ( 1/2 in aluminium?) to extend the spring approx 3 in into the engine bay space? is there a 'mod' for this? Thanx for your help !!!

I understand the problem. If the pedals are mounted in the position specified in the CBM this should not occur. There should be just sufficient length to the STBD foot well for the spring mount to give adequate tension. I am surprised that you are looking for as much as 3inch of extension. Have you any idea why this has happened?
If you have mounted the pedals further forward (as I did with LAA Mod 10665) then you may need to mount the forward end of the STBD spring forward of the foot well by about 1inch. I used a small piece of AL angle bolted (with two bolts) to the foot well. This was not specifically covered in the Mod application but my inspector was happy with it.

Thanx for you swift reply. My build manual says, - the front of the forward pedals' tube (on stbd side) should be 3.5 in back from front of the footwell. I've checked my measurements & I'm about 1/4in more rearward. this has resulted in my spring needing to be mounted approx 1in forward of the front of the footwell (not 3.5in as I originally said!). My inspector is concerned this will interfere with the engine mount & needs reassurance that this will be ok ? How can I implement this?

I had similar issue on mine, I just went and bought a slightly shorter higher rated spring set,
mind you I also have the turn buckle adjustment in the cables near the rudder for the tail wheel mod,
so it made fixing the length easy.

Hi Craig,
Unless I am mistaken, you will find that the build manual includes a return spring extension arm as standard on the LHS.
