The master cylinders on mine are directly behind the left side set of rudder/brake pedals.
The right side set of rudder/brake pedals are connected to the left side set of rudder/brake pedals by the torque tubes that you speak of.

You're not looking behind the right side set of rudder/brake pedals, are you?

Right side? LOL. (Dual meanings)

Co-pilot/starboard pedals use the torque-tubes to activate the pilot-side (port side) brake cyls.

Trivia Note:

Left/port/RED all have fewer letters per word than
Right/Starboard/Green. :wink:
