sorry to be a muppet but does the old one just screw of then

[marko]

no..the original is plastic but the screws supplied are actually threaded bolts so you need to attach the nuts from the inside to tighten it up

Here is a pic of mine when i did it

I have the OSIR one, looks very good but bloody expensive for what it is TBH. Whichever one you get, they all look good.   



From here (don't mention the price  cost me £50).....

hmm, I wonder if the osir one actually looks better, would you want gti written on it or osir, im not sure tbh.
if I have to bolt from the inside does the original one come off easily then to let you do this.
also why has nobody designed one with raised rubber grooves like the other pedals instead of blank spaces

The OSIR is the only one to my knowledge with the raised back treads. Im def gonna get one, one day.

We should start a group buy from Bold Sport and save on the shipping 

[scottm72]

hmm, $90 dollars is a lot but it looks better with the raised rubber I think,

some of the osirusa things are crazy money I see
do you think it is worth trying to get a group buy on these ?
anyone interested in starting it up ?

If your after the OSIR Dead Pedal then get it through this link, amazed it still works after 4 1/2 years but it does as I got mine through it only a couple of months ago.

£49 just click on the words "WHEN YOU ORDER HERE" and you'll go straight through to Paypal. Mine turned up about 2 weeks later. OSIR products are shipped from Honk Kong I believe.

I put some red tape behind the GTI, looks much better IMO

+1

Red electrical tape for the cosmetic win 

[scottm72]

yeah but the osir one looks better with the raised rubber to match the other pedals, worth loosing the gti logo for imo

Id def be in on a group buy Scott 

I would have liked to set one up but I'm away for christmas and new year from wednesday next week.

However I spoke to Bold Sport last week when I saw they wanted to charge £17 shipping for each footrest 
I tried to see how much shipping would cost if we bought 10 footrests. The website calculated that each item would be charged for the up-to-1kg shipping option. 

I thought it must be an error so I emailed Bold-Sport asking how much shipping would cost for 10 OSIR Footrests.

They came back with….

"Hi carlo

we have last 3 set only, the total wegith around 750g, shipping cost to uk

Air Parcel with Tracking (10-21 working days) NOT include customs £12.54
EMS Express Mail (3-7 working days) NOT include customs inspection £21.36

thanks"

Then…

"sorry, the shipping cost should be
Air Parcel with Tracking (10-21 working days) NOT include customs £17.00
EMS Express Mail (3-7 working days) NOT include customs inspection £20.78"


Here is the Bold-Sport link. (Looks like they are out of stock now anyway) 

http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=237



Like I say Id be up to joining a Group Buy, but Im not in a situation to organise one. Custom duty would need to be considered too when importing.


I now think MC71's Link is the way to go at £49 

Is that the shipped price too Martin?   



Oh Lordy just look at it
