In Response To: Seeking: Ideas for adjustable foot braces (Tom Johansen)

Thanks for the feedback on the foot rests. Still thinking that someone has a "real good" solution.

After building Nicks adjustable foot rest and another for the rudder control of my Guillemot Double, I swore I would never spend that much time on such a small component. There is also a bit of movement in the braces and they tend to "rattle" when car topped.

Im laughing at myself for being so picky, but Im ready to try a new approach

Mounting under the deck? A novel solution! Thanks for the input

Keep the input coming

Thanks all

Tom
