Thanks guys.....
Funny what we do to ourselves now and then. Noticed when I took pictures of this raveged cockpit, I forgot the peddles!!!!!!
I soldier on.

Well, I was taught in my drafting and design work,
there is more than One way to skin a cat!!!
So I just broke off the front of the c-pit shell
and attached the peddles from there!!!! Job done.
