    I am wanting to alternate between flying and driving and that means different pedals assemblies. My pedals mount is just a rectangle of aluminum extrusion so I came up with a way that should hold either pedal set in register but also make it a minor thing to swap one for the other.

    The floorboards are rectangles of HDPE and I got screws and 3/4 x 1.5" pine to lock the pedals in position. I first figured out where I wanted to put the screws and drilled those hole in the HDPE, then clamped a floorboard in place centered where I wanted it. Then it was just hold the pine in place and screw each piece down while holding it tight against the inside of the frame. Repeat for the other floorboard. Now the floorboards lift out with a little wiggling when I want to change them, but hold in place nice and secure. If it turns out I need them, I can also put swing out latches underneath to capture the aluminum frame. :thumbs
