I put in a doubler plate and some J channel to

strengthen the step attach point. I can dig up and

attach the pics if there is interest. Also ordered

extra stall warning sensor access panels and will be

putting these in the baggage floor to access the step

attach hardware. (also for inspection, etc)

 Patrick,

 My steps wobble a little too.  The fit isn't super

 tight,

 and depending on how perfectly and proper sized you

 drill

 the holes you may get a little slop.  I think as

 long as

 you don't let it get out of hand and oblong the

 holes

 you probably have no worries.  If so, you could

 always

 come up with a gap fill material on one half if

 necessary.

 Thanks for the comments on the plane.  There are a

 LOT of

 people coming and talking to me about it.  Today was

 my

 first day hanging out at the show.

Photo's attached. I used scrap channel and flat stock

for parts. If you have not started yet, build the

doubler before you dimple the rib and it will go

easier.



Planned access panel location shown. this is same as

stall warning sensor panel on wing (order more from

Vans)



When I get to installing the step itself I will add

more j-channel to inner rib.

Don't have a pic yet of them installed, but this is what the access 

panel looks like installed.  Sounds like several of us had the same 

idea.  Just remember that you have to drill the step so that you can put 

the bolt in sideways...You can't get the access panel far enough 

outboard that the bolt will go in vertically.

I think this is a very very good modification.  You'll be

really happy down the road if you ever have an issue, but

you're also well-prepared to not have any issues.

Very good, Eric.

Thanks Tim - Glad you liked it,



For those considering similar, I forgot to mention

that due to the j-channel there is one rivet on the

underside that you will have to put in an MK-319-BS or

similar. Also make sure that the j-channel and doubler

don't interfere and rub on adjacent parts in the

installed position and leave a little room for flex.



I was motivated by having to recently rework the step

and step area on my Cherokee 180. I caught mine in

time before it started to corrode but the dissimilar

metals make this a challenging area.
