My Peasron 30 has the A4 control levers, throttle and shifter, mounted on the side of the cockpit, down by my feet where they often get kicked and lines get wrapped around them. Thus, I'd like to move the levers to the wheel pedestal. Edson offers a "Mechanical Shift Engine Control kit" that looks the trick. Have any of you made this conversion? My main concern is with the shifter. I takes a fair amount of force to get my A4 in and out of forward. Not a big deal with the floor mounted lever, as it is fairly long, but I wonder how this will work if I make the change. A secondary concern is that I'll have to reroute the cables as the pedestal rig is pull-for-fast and pull-for-forward and the current rig is push-for-fast, push-for-forward.
So, is converting worth the effort? All tales of success and/or woe appreciated, particularly from the many P30 owners on this forum, but really from anyone with an A4 and pedestal controls.
