I have an L-235/290 with rudder pedals on the left side only.

To position the left cable, I stretched a string-line from the left rudder
pedal bolt holes back to the penetration in the tail cone for the cable.
Then I used a level to mark several lines along the left interior of the
fuselage. I ran the nyloseal cable along those lines. Shortest distance
between two points and all that...(The cable was well above the load
transfer pad).

I ran the right cable via the shortest possible distance: Along the left
side of the NLG tunnel, gradually penetrating and through the left center
console just above the trim mechanism, over the top of the elevator push
rod to the right side of the elevator push rod tunnel in the baggage
compartment, through the baggage bulkhead, then direct to the right side of
the tailcone.

Since the left side of the left rudder pedal is straight, and the left side
of the fuselage is round, the rudder cable attach point is about 1.5"
inboard of the fuselage. I didn't like this, so I welded a piece of 4130
tubing horizontally through the left rudder pedal where the bolt holes used
to be, so that I could use a longer bolt and extend the rudder cable
attachment outboard over next to the fuselage.
