My custom ally foot rest.

[Matt Cup]

So had a spare hour, so decided to make an ally foot rest to replace the horrible plastic job renault supply.

Heres a little build of it.

Paper template stuck onto ally sheet.

Cut and formed into shape

Holes measured to match pattern of the clutch and break pedal then drilled.

Piece of metal with a counter sunk hole so we could tap the holes out to give them shape. Also opposite counter sunk hole so we can retain the screw to fit it back. And then Pop riveted back to the original plastic rest.

Finished result

It's going to be Scotchbrite'd to give a brushed aluminium finish then lacquered.

Hope you like and I haven't bored you.

Matt.

P.S. can take all the credit as my Dad gave us a hand with this (and the use of his tools!)

bob on that mate! make me one lol

 

[Leeshez]

Sweet.

 

[Rob]

Don't lacquer it!

Leave it exactly as it is and let it wear away like the pedals

Either that or just polish the pedals up

 

[Scott™]

Thats a real good effort mate. Im sure you could sell a few on here if you put your mind to it.

 

[Matt Cup]

Sweet.

Cheers

Could do, but as it's raw aluminium it may end up going white. So I'm going to make the other pedals more presentable

Cheers guys!

Have been speaking to my dad about this, can't say for definite that they will be mass produced, suppose it all depends on demand

 

[Rocky_24]

looks good, i was too lazy to make one so just purcahsed mine off a guy who mass produces them on here, dont know if he still does though

 

[Christopher]

Decent effort!

 

[JohnOR]

looks good mate, y'all done a good job

 

[Matt Cup]

Cheers guys

 

[subarufreak]

top job!

 

[Jewson172]

Looks like a cheese grater! lol but nice effort

 

[p@blo]

Good effort Matt, looks really good matching the pedals.

Needs some of the RS mats!

 

[skny]

that is top job ! I'd get it polished so you dont see the signs of drilling, then you could get anodized and it would look great!

 

[Davis]

great job!

Cheers, and yeah I agree the mats need replacing.

Thanks, Don't think I'll anodize it, but it definitely needs tidying up a bit, the holes are a bit rough round the edges and after a good polish and it'll be reet!

Good job that mate, i made one myself but in my usual fashion i completely over engineered it and made it from one eigth thick stainless steel plate!.....took bloody ages to drill

FLOL! Good effort! Any pics

We had some steel lying about in the garage which I said we should use, my dad wasn't so keen as he knew it'd be a b**ch to work with, so he got the ally from work which was easy to work on.

 

[Ste666]

Yeah mate i have a pic, it's a bit of a half arsed effort as i was bored one day at work so it still needs polishing up
I have a black allen key set screw for the top hole when it's finished.

 

[jenic]

That looks mint Ste :approve:

 

[Matt Cup]

Looks good Ste, simple yet effective!

 

[Ste666]

I really should have cleaned it up before taking the pic though .........this is what you get when resting rigger boots on them everyday!

 

[jack_davey]

nice, but I still prefer the ones that Turner used to make to all the others I've seen on here

 

[JMR]

Yeah Turners were pretty good. Hand made too. He must have made some £ from them on here.

I made one for mine when I had the 172.
Lasercut from aluminium.

..and a DC5 replica I made for the Type R
