#1 Footrest

Post by robsimons » Wed Mar 14, 2012 2:59 pm

Hi,
1969 Series II, am putting it back together, and found a plywood board that I cannot determine its use / place. It is about 12" square with a top that has something akin to a rectified sine wave on the top (two humps with an upward smile between). Any thoughts?

Passenger toe-board to fit in footwell. Allows those with shorter legs to brace themselves better because of your driving!

Thanks a lot, you were right on, and my shorter wife will appreciate the foot rest, however my son will have to remove it! Next is a painted on one side kind of a trapezoid piece of metal with some washers that look like the bonnet washers that sports 2 cutouts on the edge (smallest side) that look like they might be reliefs for hoses.. (I have AC from the factory). Thoughts on that? And a piece of vinyl that is T shaped. the top cross is longer than the shorter fatter vertical piece. the 'right' side has a curvy cut. thanks for your thoughts!!!

If you hover your mouse over your Photobucket photo you will see a box with four options. Click on the 'IMG Code' one (third down) and paste the copied link into your post like this:
