Installing a footrest...

[The90kwBeast]

Hello all,

Just wondering - is it possible to install a footrest into a VK without too much hassle (where it didn't come with one standard)? It's something I've been meaning to look into for a while as going from my VN (with footrest) to the VK (no footrest) is well, annoying.

I was hoping to pick up one from the wreckers for a few bucks and just sort of chuck it in...

Cheers.

Kurt

i cant imagine it would be hard to do... just wonuting it would be the problem... i dont think any vb-vk came with a footrest.....

probably best off buying one out of another type of car that would fit best into a vk.....

should also be able to screw it right down through the floor yeah?

Mine doesnt have a foot rest its an auto VC, something from a VN would be easy as long as u can figure out a way to hold it there.

Really? I thought the SL/Es and Calais had footrests? Grabbing one from a VN @ the wreckers was going to be the plan. Problem is I don't have a drill at the moment to make hole... hmm the idea may have to be put off a bit until i can get a drill and also to at least see how Holden attached it in the VN to follow suit in my VK.

THe carpet would have to be pulled aside too - is the stuff glued down? This already sounds more complex than it should be...

Could try some aquaddite or acrodite whatever its called, that stuff strong.

the footrest was an option, you can find them at the wreckers, they are a simple bolt-in from memory
