Shane,
The outback flap is actuated via torque tube that passes through the fuselage just behind the rear spar.  A short rod connects two tabs near the end of the torque tube to a bracket on the inboard  rib of the flap.  The electric linear actuator resides in the center tunnel behind the seat and is attached to an arm bolted to the torque tube.  These are just off center to not interfere with elevator push rod.  This set-up removes all flap hardware from the wheel bay.

Maintenance note:
The plating process does not do good job on the inside of these tubes.  Six years of use in a relatively dry part of the country produced significant corrosion on the interior surfaces.  During my last annual, I removed the tubes and used a stainless wire brush on a drill extension to remove all corrosion and loose plating.  I then coated the interior with gloss white Rustoleum.  The gloss white makes inspections with a flashlight work really well.
