There was another conversation a few days ago about purchasing footbraces. Someone linked to a homemade keel mounted adjustabke foot brace that uses a cam strap to adjust. I just built one this morning using the idea. Scroll down to to find. I'd link it myself, but i'm playing on my phone while putting the baby to sleep. If i remember i'll do it later. Good luck.
