How does a fella add rear rudder pedals to an 8A?

You might do a search on here. Why are you wanting to add them? The stock rear rudders are ok for flying but there’s no way I could be safe landing in any adverse conditions with them. It’s hard to explain but they feel clunky and unwieldy. There’s no ‘feel’ to them. Others may have opinions but I would highly recommend the upgraded custom ones that others on here have created. Never flown the custom ones but the geometry looks much better.

I’ve only flown a tailwheel plane with them but it was dangerous (for me) - more accomplished pilots may have a different take on them.
 
My son is gonna finish my instruction in this thing, and requested a set of rear pedals. Therefore, he’s gonna get some, lol
 
Rudder Pedal Kit

I've got a "still in the package" RV8 pedal kit that I'd like to sell. PM me if interested.
Thanks
