: If you have built the footbraces in Nick Schade's...
: I've used the search function on this site, but cannot strike
: pay dirt on this.

I've mentioned it a few times before. The URL is for rudder pedals but I used the same arrangement in the front of my double and one "pedal" instead of two and obviously no rudder lines. Remove the hinge and build it solid as a foot support/brace, that's is all that's needed. Adjustment is infinite and easy while on the water as the adjuster is somewhere between you knees, not on the sides or way up the cockpit.
