Clutch footrest
« on: 14 August 2011, 15:39 »
I haven't got one in my '96 gti, i want one but i cant see where it would mount.

Does anyone have one they want to sell me and advise where it fits and possibly why i haven't got one? Been in a '97 gti and it had one??

No-one will have one, because VW, in their retarded wisdom, thought to put one on the accelerator side instead of clutch side.  Completely ignoring the obvious fact that your foot will need to be in contact with the accelerator pedal most of the time..

This also means there is very little room on the clutch side to fit an aftermarket contraption!

Thats strange as i've definitely driven a '97 gti with a foot rest although it was a bit tight, i didn't pay much attention but it didnt look like it was aftermarket?

There is a VW clutch footrest. I shall dig out a pic. There are a bit rare, but were still available through VW a bit back.

TADA!

i always thought this too, why put one on the accelerator side, it never made sense to me.

I got one in my '98 MK3, its a bloody godsend on a long journey.

I was told it was a standard option in VR6's.
