My early car has the tethered footrest. When I have passengers they ask "what the hell is this thing ?" I say: it's footrest for you. They say: how does it work ? I say: I don't really know.
What is the practical position for it ? I sit in the passenger seat and try different positions and I cannot make sense myself. Can someone show a picture of it being used as it should ? I suspect this why many got chucked. |

It just sits flat with the dogbone shape down on the floor to keep it in place with friction from the large surface area + angles of the dogbone, & the inset of the shape keeps your feet in place.
Obviously not a perfect solution coupled with a fixed passenger seat, ergo the `72 upgrade to adjustable seat & shorter floor pan with a filler piece up front. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
