Thanks Vince. I have thought about a clear back plate for greater visibility just as you mention. It would be easy enough to do since that plate is just rectangular with 8 counterbored holes for the SHCS's that mount it to the two end plates. I may give it a try yet. My only concern is how the clear acrylic or Lexan would wear with the steps riding up and down against it, but only one way to tell and that is to try it. I suppose even if that was a problem, one could occasionally pull the back plate off and repolish the inner surface. Acrylic will for sure buff out very nicely as I have tried that before. Thanks for an excellent suggestion!!Bill
