Hi guys I wonder if anybody can help me out with a:
Drawing with dimensions
or a photo next to a ruler
of a LHD Passenger foot rest for a 66Ghia?
I can't find any in Australia where I live and thought I might have a go at making one.
I just need some specs to work off of (also the angle of the folds if possible?)
thanks in advance for any help!
regards
Russell

Thanks so much c21darrel! big help. I wonder if I could ask you for a photo from the side of the small tab at the top and the angle of the lip at the bottom, i'm not sure how those things tuck back and forward + what angles. I'm going to drawn up what you've sent already and see how it looks
Cheers

Working off of your photo and matching up the ruler, this is what I came up with:
Just in case there was any camera distortion, would you mind helping me out with some dimensions for the letters marked below? I work in mm. if that makes it any easier for you (it does me here in Australia) Again thanks in advance for any help

Hi Nicholas,
Ha! small world of all the footplate photo's out there I happened to choose one of yours.
Another coincidence is my wife sent my this pic today, from NZ!
If you wanted to sell your footplate I'd gladly take it.
You could post it within the long white cloud or directly to me in Malabar NSW
PM me your Paypal or bank deets and I'll fix you up.
Cheers
Russell
PS. No rush for it, as it's just one of many parts on a shopping list. BTW Sydney is back in lockdown some that means my MIG/TIG/panel beating classes at Motorretro in Northmead are all postponed! |

OMG so close ...yet so far!
Drop me a line when/if you ever make it back across the Tasman!
( If convenient I can drop over and pick it )
Cheers
