Thanx for you swift reply. My build manual says, - the front of the
forward pedals' tube (on stbd side) should be 3.5 in back from front of
the footwell. I've checked my measurements & I'm about 1/4in more
rearward. this has resulted in my spring needing to be mounted approx
1in forward of the front of the footwell (not 3.5in as I originally
said!). My inspector is concerned this will interfere with the engine
mount & needs reassurance that this will be ok ? How can I implement
this?

I understand the problem. If the pedals are mounted in the position
specified in the CBM this should not occur. There should be just
sufficient length to the STBD foot well for the spring mount to give
adequate tension. I am surprised that you are looking for as much as
3inch of extension. Have you any idea why this has happened?
If you have mounted the pedals further forward (as I did with LAA Mod
10665) then you may need to mount the forward end of the STBD spring
forward of the foot well by about 1inch. I used a small piece of AL
angle bolted (with two bolts) to the foot well. This was not
specifically covered in the Mod application but my inspector was happy
with it.
