Ok I finally figured out how to get you those pics.The aluninum box that a friend of mine made up for me looks like this" >" from the side.I don't have a pic of it but you can see the top view from behide the seat in one of the pics.He also made the the horseshoe bracket that holds the whole thing in place .The box has a flange on it so the horseshoe bracket can hold it.There are two horseshoe brackets ,one for the inside and one for the outside.They bolt together with short bolts and nuts.I only use my toe to get in.The whole foot will not fit in the box,but it is enough to get the leverage in order to get in.I put a rubber bottom on it to take the wear,made out of the side of a rubber boot cut to shape and glued in.You can use either foot.I also put in a flop door as you can see.Pryor to this I had to do the limbo to get in,now I just step right in there easy as pie. Most of this work was done by friends of mine helpng me.I watched and learned from the masters.I hope this helps a little.From the pics you can see the positioning of the box.I have seen in other pics from other sites boxs made out of wood and they look quite good and that is where I found out where to put the box.I will see if I can find those sites again and if I find it I will send it along.>From: "KMHeide, BA, CPO, FAAOP" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: Pietenpol >Subject: Pietenpol-List: Step question and Helmet cam information>Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2007 07:22:44 -0800 (PST)>>Members of the list:>> I am interested in photos and designs of a step inserted in the fuse for >the rear pilot to gain access into and out of the rear cockpit.
