I see from the photograph, which shows details of the pedals much better than by eyeball, that the whole braking torque is not taken by the tube (and weld(s) between the pedal and the m/c actuation lever. If you look at the photo, you will see that the clevis pin through the actuation lever and m/c fork, also extends into the brake pedal, thus sharing the braking load with the torque tube.
Wilson from your photo we can see the clutch pedal does have the clevis pin going through actuation lever & pedal. On the brake pedal the clevis pin looks to only go through the actuation lever. There is a split pin on the left of the clevis. Thus the whole brake load goes through the actuation lever & torque tube

Hi Tim,
You are absolutely correct that the clevis pin does not carry on through the brake lever. I checked by putting a small mirror behind the brake pedal and reflected a torch onto it. My photo was a bit deceptive, as in that the end of the clevis pin was sitting hard against the RH edge of the pedal. Very strange design decision, when it would have been so easy to drill the brake pedal and use a longer clevis pin. This would have reduced the cantilever forces from the current arrangement. I am guess that the mod may be a dog leg bracket going from the RHS of the actuator lever and fixing to the brake pedal above the clevis pin.
