If you did not bond in your floors yet, I suggest you assemble rudder pedals
first, then mount the side with 2 tufnal bushings to a piece of rigid plywood
or something, and leave the side with just 1 bushing free. Now rotate pedals
in 2 bushings and make sure the free end is straight, inline and tracks true.
If not you can easily bend it to do so.

I did not check check this and bonded in my floors, with both my pedals not
tracking exact and thus setting the tufnal bushings in not ideal locations.

After a night of shimming, sanding, bending and fiddling with different
orientations of bushings, things are OK.

A 5 minute exercise to check, bend straight and make sure it tracks would have
saved a lot of hassle.
