Or, with incomplete tightening, it will slide in a narrow space between 2 rivets on the rail (they are rivets). But I was thinking of adding a sort of stoppers at the fore ends of rails. To remove one rivet and screw in or rivet in something with higher head - may be with a thick washer. And regarding that previously mentioned straps hooked to pedals and sliding along stringer above, to prevent pedals rotation. I doubt I got it right. (posting's been deleted). Upper stringer is pressed tight against inflated hull, nothing to slide on.
