Trev-the-Rev Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I don't know if anyone else has found this to be a problem, but ever since I've had my Z I've always found the footrest to be a bit too far away. Now that may be because I'm somewhat short in the leg, but nevertherless I have now done something about it. I simply removed the 5 screws and ally cover, marked around it onto a piece of 4x2 soft wood, cut it out with the jigsaw, painted it black so it wouldn't stand out like a bulldog's b*llo* and refitted it to the car using longer self tapping screws. Hey presto a footrest I can now comfortably reach. Blue Peter would be proud of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 This post got me thinking - does anybody else have a wobbly footrest (Oi, no sniggering at the back) and yes, the screws are tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you undo the 5 screws and take the ally plate off, there's two slot head screws underneath that may have worked loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
