I still have not flown (DAR tomorrow then wait for runway(s) to de-ice) and already my pilotside step is a little loose. I remember that TCW had machined an insert that they said worked well. Are those commercially avialable or are there any other "fixes" out there.  I did construct access panels so I can get to those pesky AN-3 bolts.  Jay Rowe

I'm planning to pour epoxy/flocks in to the step with mold release on  

the bolt.  Nick Gautier ran a test on this, putting it through a  

number of hot/cold shock cycles.  As I recall, it took a significant  

and immediate temperature change for the flocks to separate from the  

inside of the step.

I used the insert that Bob (TCW) sells: http://tcwtech.com/RV-10-construction-project.htm

  

 One change is I drilled the holes in the steps and mounts to 1/4 and in the insert to 5/16 to enable the use of an AN4 bolt.  They're rock solid now.
