Default Rudder pedal S-tubes

Let me add one little tid-bit, here. The rudder cables enter the top of the S tube and exit at the bottom, then forward to a cable anchor point. The angle of the rudder pedals can be adjusted by making the cables longer (some pilots prefer pedals that lean forward, rather than sitting straight up). A simple way to lengthen the cables is to add a 1” steel carabiner in the system between the cable end “eye” and its anchor point. Check the new pedal position to see if you prefer it and don’t forget to check that full rudder can still be achieved with the new forward pedal position.
You may find you like it, I did!

What an awful advice. Fiddling with control system in first place, and secondly rudder pedals would hit cockpit wall almost certainly in forward position when pushed to limit. Please don't never ever do this.
