    I have a picture that one of the other builders posted of a later model under construction, that shows these type of pedals on the pilot's side. I can't see the passenger's side in the photo to see if they are different. I've already decided to modify my pedals to add the lower part of the "E". I'll send these back to KF and maybe they'll give me a credit.

    The rudder pedal torque tubes and brake master cylinder floor bracks on the model 4 are opposite as to pilot and passenger sides to what the earlier models have. It looks to me like Model 4 passenger side pedals would be needed on the pilot side of an earlier model.

    Here's a model 4 photo I snagged off barnstormers. This one has C pedals but the E pedals install the same directions on the model 4.

    I think you are right. The master cylinders mounted differently, but substituting the passenger side for the pilot's side looks workable. I just copied the dimensions and modified mine.
