Tony .......if you imagine the web of the "I" section being used to bolt
about 9" of the section on to aft side of the step you have about an inch
flange laying on top of the step and an inch flange protruding into the foot
well space. Against which you can push all your weight to lever yourself up
the seat back to get out by standing then on the seat without stressing the
floor or anywhere else. Sorry I can't get to the plane to submit a photo at
present.

Hi Bob,
I know what an "I" section is, but I just can't imagine what you mean. If
you said "L" shape, to protect the Trailing edge of the rudder pedal
attachment shelf, I would have been with you, but I'm a tad lost.
