Since were talking about the center console I recommend that the side panels be trimmed back so that the forward edge is even with the vertical tubes of the airframe at the firewall. Mine were not trimmed back and the forward edge was bent slightly into the centerline direction. As a result, I experienced a momentary binding in my rudder pedal as I applied full rudder during a hard forward slip. It was discovered that the slight inward bend of the thin aluminum caught on the pully bolt of the adjustable Rudder pedal pully. Thankfully the aluminum bent in and is flexible enough that the binding gave way. As a result of the deforming of the aluminum I was not able to reproduce the binding as the aluminum was deformed such that it "fixed" itself. I discovered the mishapen panel and the torn fabric during inspection.
