| Subject: | Step Replacement |
Just wanted to give the group a heads up about the step replacement.=C2-
A little over 1,000 hours on my 7A and both steps are cracked!.=C2- Why t
hey crack at the back of the step riser is baffling to me, I would have tho
ught that the weld would have cracked as it bears the brunt of the weight a
nd shock of getting in and out.=C2- What the heads up is all about is tha
t while fitting the new Vans replacement steps the flat plate part did not
fit flush with the fuselage like the original ones did. After a day of fuss
in and cussin I had a BFO (Bright Flash of the Obvious) and measured the ro
und tube part.=C2- The original is 9 3/4" long measured along the top. Th
e=C2- Vans replacement step tube is 10".=C2- There was my 1/4 gap !!!!
=C2- I had to cut 1/4" off the tube to make it fit.=C2- Where is the Va
ns QC?
