: I am getting ready to install foot braces in my Guillemot. I
: purchased Yakimas with the black plastic slides in case I want
: to install a rudder in the future. How much room do I need
: between the plastic and the front bulkhead to allow for enough
: travel if a rudder is needed? My plan is to drill a small hole
: through both plastic an Al and "pin" it for now. any
: other tips would be appreciated too. Travis

Depends on how the rudder is rigged and if you want the pedals connected from in front of them. They don't have to be btw so the tracks can go right up against the bulkhead if you want to do it that way.
