[C38] cabin steps loosening

[D McC]

We solved the step-creep problem with a single barrel bolt at the top of the steps on the Port side. I also glued thin rubber non-skid to the bottom of the legs. No more creep and no more scuffing of the sole by the legs flexing against it.

    Stomping on the top stem jams and secures my steps. Examination of
    the screws suggests they have not been adjusted in 32 years.

      Hey Steve, your cabin steps are the same as
            mine, do you have trouble with them coming up and loose?  If
            so, what have you done to prevent this?  To all, please add
            your solutions to this pesky problem.
       
      

      

      

      

      Best regards,
