Once the rudder pedals are installed the instructions say to check that the brake cylinders don't interfere with the torque tubes of the inboard rudder pedals. If they do, it says to "modify them, if necessary in accordance with Figure E-5". Both my inboard pedals when fully forward, cause the brake cylinders to contact the tube. That keeps the inboard rudder pedal from going as far forward as the outboard pedal. I've gone over the Figure E-5 and can't see any mod shown that the instructions saw is there. I saw the note about the .125 space between the cylinder mount and the tube and did that using an 1/8" drill as a spacer. I could file off the corner of the cylinder but am concerned about how much I can file to clear the tube without impacting the integrity of the cylinder. Anyone have this issue and a pic of how much you successfully removed from the cylinder to free it up? I've attached E-5 so you can take a look and maybe see what I am not as far as a mod and pics of the cylinder hitting the tube. Also the 1/8" space between the bracket and the tube as called out in E-5.
Thanks
Gary
