Footstep ??

Nick,
Getting back to your question on the footsteps for a moment.
In the Models Forum, there is a thread titled "Help with RAF FE-2b".
the first post has a link to a very well done 1/4 scale Snipe. Enlarging
the cockpit photos, it seems that the aileron cables run through/under
these footsteps. The round spacer in your drawing makes sense as a
bearing for the cable and the whole assembly to keep the pilot from
stepping on the cables. I'm interested in your thoughts.

Jim
