Looking for something that can bolt to the cockpit floor and lay down flat when not in use.

What if it bolted to the bulkhead and hinged up out of the way? Hold it up with a perko slide. Good piece of hard rubber on the backside so that when it was down, the edge wouldnt harm the floor. The right person could machine it out of a piece of aluminum and powdercoat it.

That makes it tougher. Anything on the floor will stick up and be a trip hazard. Whats under the floor in front of the bolster? If you have room you could cut a slot in the floor and have a piece pull up and tilt forward. Would be flush went not in use.

They make motorcycle wheel chocks for trailers that fit flush to the floor in a pocket. You will need something like that possibly one turned sideways and adapted to open from the side. I will post a pic of one later today.

Plus I already spoke to an OL employee about those and was told "Those footrests are too nice to be put in a Nor-Tech."
