Climbing step?

Has anyone put a climbing step on their major? The left-hand side of our Power Major feels awkward to enter due to a combination of the high step, narrow opening between the tank and fender, and the clutch pedal.

I've been thinking about it Puffie, as the years pass the step seems to get higher and when I need to do anything under the dear old Volvo, it seems to be getting nearer the ground :yikes:

So far I've not figured out where to stabilise it from - rather than beefing up the footplate, had been wondering if I could get away with something suspended from the steering drag arm, I've generally got an axe or two a chain and some other tools hung on it.
