Footrest

[Rach h]

I have read previous posts about footrest, or rather the lack of one. How long will the carpet last I wonder? I have just ordered one at a cost of £28 and wondered if fitting it was best done by screws or Velcro? I noticed others have fitted it by using both of these methods. Any body know which is best?

Helped Beef with his the other weekend.

The foam pad underneath where the footrest should be is big enough to screw into with the screw provided.

Just line it up, get them finger tight and then you should be able to get the rest of it in with a screwdriver (that's what she said).

Great, so long as the screws are provided. I think there should be one already fitted. If I had known it was an extra I would have ordered one!! Thanks.

There should be! I think the designers probably thought that it wouldn't fit well to the RHD model but they look really good tbf.

I'll get a pic up when it's fitted. Really don't want to ruin the carpet with my clodhopping feet!!!

Yeah Fish helped fitting mine at the Meadowhall meet the other week. You get screws and a rubbish diagram in the bag with it.

You'll need a Torx T-20 screwdriver (or T-20 attachment):



I found the best thing to do was use strong double sided electrical tape to stick the footrest to the carpet and find the best position. Then use a beautiful assistant (thanks Fish) to hold the screws straight while you screw them firmly into the foam. Pretty straight forward but I found it easier to screw them while sitting in the passenger seat and leaning over (I'm right handed).

Hope that helps, PM me if you have any issues.

Can I borrow your beautiful assistant? Lol!! Hopefully it should arrive by the end of the week and fitted over the weekend. Thanks ill give you a shout if I have any issues.

If you've not sorted it by the Krispy Kreme meet, come along to that and I'm sure he'll give you a hand, lol.

I think you're getting confused between a footrest and a spark plug...

[lfcrule1972]

it was the footrest but I noticed after I bought it last night eBay helpfully substituted it with something in its words similar, the spark plugs !
