Stair Cover

[George Burke]

A previous owner removed the hinged stair cover that usually mounts to
the half closet on my 1977 FC31. It has carpet on one side, and the
same woodgrain formica on the other that is through out my bus. This
nifty item folds down over the stairs, making that area level with the
rest of the bus. I would like to reinstall this for the benefit of my
older sister, who has hip problems. There are four screw holes thru
which large screws were used to mount it thru the carpet, and to the
floor. Does any FC owner have one of these, and if so would you pls.
measure the length of the (4) scews, and let me know. I want to make
sure that I install screws long enough to hold the cover intact, but
don't want to send then so deep as to reach China, or some electrical
wire that BB hid under there some yrs. ago. TIA George Burke 1977FC31

George,

I don't know if mine is the same as yours but the cover has #14 x 3/4"
screws in it. The screws that attach to the coach are #14 x 1 1/2", but
they are attached into coach parallel to the floor. Hope that helps you out.

My thanks to Fred and Chet for their help. The # 14, 1 and 1/2 in. SS
screws worked perfectly. The staircase cover looks great, and works
like it was designed to. I do not understand why a previous owner took
it off. Now theres one less thing in the Job Jar. Thanks Guys, George
