Where to buy

I cant find the support/brace that goes under step just inside the door. Its just a U shaped piece of straight steel as far as i can tell but when i search for it I find every other brace but that one. Anyone know where i can get a replacement?
Thank you

I don't think I have ever seen that piece separately from the replacement step. You may have to go to a local sheet metal fab guy and have one made or find some C channel close to the same size.

Re: Where to buy

unless your 100% stock and looking for points... 3/4x3/4 angle will probably work fine
or nothing at all

Re: Where to buy

Scroll down to step plates and see if those are what you are looking for.

https://www.fillingstation.com/detai...CKET_LEFT.html

https://www.fillingstation.com/detai...KET_RIGHT.html

I check the Filling station a lot to see if a part exists at all in the aftermarket. That doesn't mean that they actually have it on the shelf per the slow delivery time they have had on a couple of items.

In other words, if you order you want to confirm actual delivery time.
