Hi guys,

(Note: User = Bobnotch suggested to try in the Ghia section as these aren't Type 3 according to him).

I've seen bug front foot rests but these are slightly different, and not as big, making me think possibly Karmann Ghia?

The big nodule on the top left and right is not bug-like.

Please can anyone help ID them? I've included a ruler to help out.

Thanks all.

From the Type 3 forum, I posted:

Looks like its for a 70-74 Ghia:

Thanks for your help, looks like the one!

I have another very similar one so I'll check out bug city's photos and see if it is listed there.

Thanks again.

Looks like the passenger side footrest in our 73 Ghia.

Yes, would be problematic if installed on drivers side. Wink

Hi guys,

I also have this foot rest, but it's a bit different (but similar!) from the first one ID'd by KTPhil:

Bug City doesn't have a pic of this exact one, unlike the one ID'd by KTPhil.

The ones on Bug City have a couple of holes drilled in them which this one doesn't?

Any thoughts please?
