It's a bellcrank assembly and support plates that fit aft of the tail bulkhead.
Rudder cables go to the bellcrank. Rudder is driven by a pushrod as in the
Classic, and stops are built into the carrier. Tailwheel is driven by short
cables that exit either side of the tailwheel spring, with a revised tailwheel
bellcrank and stop. Elegant, low drag, and less stress on the rudder hinges...
and a very complete, well manufactured kit of bits.

He also does a moulded firewall kit to replace the SS sheet - covers the rudder
pedal tubes, reduces heat in the cockpit, lighter.
