foot rest
Pmoky gti:
what is the best way on mounting the footrest i bought off gulfstream?
is it to drill 3 holes into car?remove plastic footrest first?
dont fancy drilling into car,would prefer to glue it
ideas guys
thanks paul
big al:
Most people here remove the footrest and then drill it. It is only plastic, there are 3 screws around the footrest so just remove those.
When I did mine, it looked like someone had already had a go at the screws for some reason, and the one was threaded so could not be removed, so I just got 3 nice looking screws and pushed them through the plastic to keep them in. I would not worry about the 3 holes in the plastic though. I presume taping htem in place would not work due to keep moving your foot, unless it is strong tape.
Pmoky gti:
so basically take the plastic one off the car then attach the metal to it while its off?that sound right?sounds easier that way

Which one did you buy? IIRC gulfstream did two versions, one suitable for screwing and one suitable for sticking. I chose the latter and used double-sided sticky pads.
Since application, it hasn't moved or dislodged. Still stuck down quite firmly for the last 18 months.
Pmoky gti:
got the ones with the screws
didnt even know there was a choice?
anyway gulfstream if you are reading this these are superb! :happy2: :congrats:
heres them taped up and screwed and ready to go on in car when it stops raining
