|
|
Did US supers in 71-72 come with a footrest under the pedals? Or was it just on the passenger side? Or was that optional as well?
I have a euro RHD 71 1302LS vert that came with foot rests on both sides. I'm looking for a carpet kit, but struggling to find one in this combination. Made me wonder if under pedal foot rests were common in the US

I have never seen a Volkswagen with footrests under the pedals.
I can't imagine why they would install a footrest on the driver side, anyway.

No. At least no for my 1970 sedan, and 1971 Super Convertible, as I've had both since early/mid-1970s as second owner, and these were untouched.
Yes, I've done master cylinders and clutch cables on both over the last 42 years, plus I worked on customers' VWs in the mid-1970s, and never saw one of those. _________________ 1970 VW (owned since 1972) and 1971 VW Convertible (owned since 1976), second owner of each. The '71 now has the 1835 engine, swapped from the '70. Second owner of each. 1988 Mazda B2200 truck, 1998 Frontier, 2014 Yukon, 2004 Frontier King Cab. All manual transmission except for the Yukon. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335294 http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335297 |

Dodgy - was your 1303 a 1303LS?
Perhaps this was standard fitment only on the LS models? |

Were foot rests an option? My 1971 Beetle (standard) original owner car does not have one on the passenger side. But all other Beetles I`v owned over the years have always had them. |
