[bobtail4x4]

are you for or against them?

[Deranged Rover]

Seems to be largely against them, I think.

Along with punctuation and capital letters.

Some could possibly be removed.

It's a bugbear of mine that my car doesn't have one.

[Ussrcossack]

Why not see if they can be cut out.

My dad did this in 1997
Got supplying dealer to do it prior to delivery

Sticky tape and a black sharpie will fix that.

Also a terrible first post.

Considering you’ve provided no information whatsoever, no.

Definitely.
I mean, definitely not.
Actually I'd go maybe.
I'd bank on probably though.
But in reality probably not.


Take your pick ^^
One of them is correct.

Well mine was written off for this.




















Got the car back, had it repaired and made £2500 on the deal!

That's not the way to cut out the foot rest.

I really think you've made a mess of it.

I’m also 100% fifty-fifty that it might,…..or might not be,

Few zip ties, black duck tape and T cut and that will buff out.

I remember buying a TVR Cerbera new, it was around £45k early 2000 Ish and I was shocked that not only did it not have a foot rest but there was nowhere at all to put your clutch foot…it just had to rest on the clutch pedal (I was always told that this could prematurely wear a clutch)…this struck me as very poor car design.

Ergonomics was not TVRs strong point to be fair.
Look at the dash buttons layout to start with.

No, that is true…old.Porsche 911’s have the dash controls all over the shop but they did remember the foot rest.

The TVR made me realise that cost did not always equate to ergonomics and comfort….it’s odd…I was 23 and I thought the more you paid the more comfortable and "better" a car would be…I was young and dumb.

Just tuck your foot under it. That's what i do in the Marcos, which also has no foot rest, nor any room for one!

This caught me so off guard I almost spat my drink out at work.

The foot rest / dead pedal on my old F-Type was a block of polystyrene glued behind the carpet.

The foot rest / dead pedal on my GR86 is a piece of plastic bolted into a bracket on the firewall.

Both easily removable.

The pedals had a lot of adjustment but I don’t think I was able to comfortably tuck my size 11’s under there.
