Hi there
On the QB fuselage, I came to the conclusion that most of the step installation work is already done, you only have to insert the step and final-drill the vertical hole for the AN3-20A bolt.
My problem is that, with the existing pilot holes aligned, neither the 45 ¼” distance (between the aft edge of the wing attachment bulkhead and the leading edge of the step) indicated in fig. 2 of page 30-3 is good (I have around 1” more), nor the weld at the top of the step sits flush with the skin…
Should I change anything to mate those 2 conditions, or can I just final-drill the hole like it is?
Thanks
Carlos

Carlos, I only had pilot holes in the powder coated support, not the step tube, so I slid the steps in as far as required to get the right dimension. Also search the archives as lots of later builders are putting in a solid plug in the step tube, and then drilling through the whole assembly to help keep the bolt from lossening up over time. See Bob Newmans web site for details.

Are you sure you have the correct step on the correct side ? Also, you may want to create an access plate for the bolt in case it loosens up or the weld cracks. I believe bob Newman sells an insert for the step as Rick has posted above
