kick plate for right seat (passenger side) rudder peddle of CTLS

[Towealth]

I saw a 2012 CTLS that had an aluminum hinged  plate that slid under the rudder peddles on passenger side.  It was awesome when it was folded over the peddles provided a comfortable foot rest.  It could be folded back allowing use of the rudder peddles from the right seat.  I would really appreciate any help finding where I can acquire this.  I have a 2009 CTLS that I believe is the same as the 2012 on the peddle assembly. Attached is a photo of what I saw.

I have one for the passenger side on my CTSW. I don't think the maker is making them anymore.

 

I'm working on one for the pilot side on my airplane now. It's a modified design that will be smaller and lighter, and should allow access to the floor locker. Once it's done and tested I will release templates for the parts and construction instructions in case anybody wants to build one.

Again, I can make them!!!

 

Get me drawings.

Cost depends on how it's built. Does it use all straight edges? If so, that makes it a lot cheaper because I can just use a sheet metal shear to cut the sheets and run the edge along a polisher to get rid of the sharp edges really fast. Even if it's steel, I have access to some shears that can do thin steel too.

 

I could make my own from scratch but I'm still not entirely sure what is being accomplished. Just keeping people's feet off the pedals? It looks like it folds over out of the way too. I could probably do some simple mods so it doesn't block the cargo door.

 

Template, drawings, it will all work the same. I just need a base to work from.

The slotting makes things a little more complex but I think I could work around that.

They are made of 0.060" aluminum plate.

I am looking at the "ORIGINAL"; have yet to use it, maybe to stop the fire bottle from tangling

 

with the pedals.

 

Think out of the box; does not have to made of metal.

Legos?

There was a version made from PVC tubing.

There was a version made from PVC tubing.

 

I looked at that, as well as lexan/plexi/delrin/nylon sheet.  In the end metal was just easier to work with for me, since I had the tools and experience with aluminum.  Not to mention most other materials have to be much thicker to avoid too much flexing, which becomes obtrusive.  Phenolic sheet would work, but it's heavier than aluminum and more of a PITA to shape.
