Make sure the brackets aren't rusted away. The brackets generally rust rapidly and completely unseen from above.

Before you put the brackets on get the local engineering company to make 5 copies. 4 for yourself and one to make further copies for people like me to buy them!

Got some steps in good nick and half decent brackets. Sanded the rust off and remade a bracket myself for one that was too far gone, at work as I work in maintenance and all is great.good idea tho nandad as il see how hard it is to make the complete bracket and knock a few up, il let you know if I do any good and post some pics
