Posted 22/08/03 06:16 AM Posted 22/08/03 06:16 AM Yeah mate,get yourself a piece of pine about 1.5" high 2" wide and 3.5" long, a couple of tek screws and screw it onto the rubber bit on the carpet inside of the clutch pedal (or humungus brake pedal for autos). :D If your creative in the work shop you can mold the wood to make it more comfortable. All jokes aside I think no foot rest was a big oversight by Ford (bloody bean counters!!)
Guest wally Guests Posted 22/08/03 06:34 AM Posted 22/08/03 06:34 AM Instead of using a piece of wood , get a foot rest out of a EF/AU part number EF3N234ARetails for a whole $6.00Bolt it through the normal foot rest .Looks better
