Tony,
Good point -- I have both sets of cables connected to the aft bulkhead pivot by
shackles. Undoing the ones for the forward cables there ((and attaching twine
to the eyes to retrieve the cables after inspection) looks as though it will
work but reconnecting the shackles and replacing the cotter pin one handed will
be tricky (as for any other work in there).
Best regards,
Nick

"........haven't seen any need to put them in the forward set. There is
nothing to tighten them against except the springs on the pedal shaft
and the amount of possible adjustment won't do much to vary the pedal
angle to accommodate different leg lengths. "
There is another good reason to add turnbuckles in the cables and that
is one of inspection. With turnbuckles in the cables it is possible to
undo them and draw the cables forward away from the pulleys to look for
wear at your 100 hour checks.
