Greg I am putting in a rear step over the lower longeron. I initially cut outa small rectangle under the seat bottom right beside the brace the seatback fastens to. Worked fine until I fastened on the wing center sectionat which point it became useless. I figure about 12 inches behind the seatback should work well. On the shackle discussion, I have modified most of the attachment pointswith an extra tab so that the cable eye goes between two tabs and is heldin place with a bolt. Works great on the rudder bar, fine on the rudderpedals, not quite so neat on the control pivot thing behind the seat (Can'tremember the term at this moment) with 3 tabs used for bolting the twocable eyes between. As I have forks on one end of most of my turnbucklesthat also removes the requirements for several shackles. And I have foundabout 8 or so surplus shackles. Wayne Sippola, Winnipeg----------
