Gulfs footrests, and $ky TV . . . . Updated with Pics

How about buying a DSG brake pedal rubber and prising the metal casing off, and using the rubber raised bits as they are supposed to be used.

I am sure that Gulf could perhaps make a dead pedal with the appropriate sized slots, you fit the appropriate sized grommet cut from the DSG pedal rubber and then it becomes OEM.

Just a thought..................

Might attempt the mod.
How much is a new plastic footrest?

About £4 for the grey plastic bit.

Sweeet! I've got a soldering iron, some wires. Need a LED and resistor, and some way of powering it up.

BTW about a month after I bought Gulf's footrest, I've finally managed to get round to sticking it on. Looks the dogs danglies!

You can't buy the "rubbers" separately - they are part of, and bonded to the alloy cover.

the old MK5 R32  (std Gearbox) Set i had were not bonded (i left them on my MK2 Leon FRTDI), just a Rubber with a series of "grommets" if you will, covered by an Alloy plate which sat in the grooves of the Grommets.

How about using some rubber sheet and then some small wooden dowls cut in half to put under the rubber sheet to raise it up???

Thought about that but the rubber would have to be thin enough to be able to stretch over the dowls and still fit snugly in the gaps of the foot rest. I'm thinking of a thick sheet of rubber and a carpet knife and just cutting out my own blocks of rubber and gluing them down.

Sort of similar to what I suggested with the $ky co-ax cable, and the "snake-skin".  Unfortunately, I personally couldn't get it to work properly.  But maybe with an old rubber inner tube cut and shaped to fit over the innards of some co-ax - that might work.   

Another job for my "to-do" list.

Anyone happen to know if Gulf is planning another group buy on the dead pedal covers?

Cheers
