Sorry guys. I have been hunting these threads. Someone here had a pic and a link for e-bay where they got the steel foot rest from that fits the golf. Can you please give me those details again.

Re: Help please!
Are you after this?
It's the footrest from a mk4 golf, which is too long but just bends over at the top. I'll have a look for the link.

Yep screws in top & bottom, 5 mins to fit.... I just stuck tape on the back of it for that little extra grip.... not sure it made the blindest tho.....
I also have some sil protectors on the way soon, I'll post some pics up when they get here.
How you finding the boc then??? grin material or what???

thats a fair few miles already I've done about 1100miles so far. Don't they draw a lot of attention...
I've bought stuff from gulf before & he's a good guy, with the foot rest be careful when you bend it over at the top, make sure your happy with the position as I recon you only get one bend in it. I ditched the supplied screw at the top for a self tapper as it was easier.

Well the plate arrived yesterday and I am well pleased with it. Spikey can you tell me exactly how you fitted it? Does the foot rest actually come out or do you have to do it in place as the fixing bolts have nuts and washers! I don't wanna do a botch job, that would just break my heart mate. I wanna fit it on the week-end if I can.

Re: Help please!
yeah , got mine. just got to get the bloody car now. got loads of bits and bobs for her, just need to spoil her, give it some love and attention ...... oh baby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Help please!
Buddy no problem,
First I bent the rest into shape, then
I got a similar sized self tapper & used that to start a pilot hole off for the hole at the bottom.
Once the hole is started I took that out & used the washer & screw that came with the rest.
Then at the top used another self tapper to hold in at the top. Only did the top with one screw as it was solid & well out of sight.
If you take your time it's fine
here's a closer shot:

I looked at that screw at the top of the foot rest & didn't bother to take it out, now from memory it is one of those security screw things.
My guess it that unscrew that & the whole foot rest would come out, but it's really easy to make the starter hole with a nice sharp self tapper tho.
I guess if you got the rest out you could pilot a small hole with a drill?? I went for the easy option tho - but it's up to you which way you go...
I picked up a handbrake cover from the dealers the other day, I really didn't like the feel of the standard item, especially when compared to the feel of the wheel & gear stick - now it's leather with piano black bits on it
