This pic shows the rudder pedal assembly being mounted in the fuselage. Figuring out where the mounting holes need to be drilled.

Was contacted by John McBean today via email. He believes that the problem with the right side rudder assembly was due to weld pull wish is common in a manufacturing process. I think that this is true but also think that the tube was slightly bent to start with. Regardless what needed to be done was to remove all of the powder coat and continue to fit the bearings. It took a lot of work but i am happy with the result.

Here is the right assembly almost finished. Just need to fit the pedals and install in the fuselage.
