The Lancair solution is a built in problem.  Attached are photos of my solution.  There maybe some questions about strength or adjustment, but otherwise the concept is better.

Our retractable step has been sticking for the last couple of months, so we decided to rebuild it while we were doing the Annual inspection.  What we found was that the cable has sawed right thru the stainless tube in the middle of the 180 degree bend.  We have about 350 hours on the plane.  Has any body else out there had this problem.  We made a new tube and will replace tomorrow.  Any suggestions on keeping it from happening again?
