Is this a Type 3 RHD drivers side footrest?

[FunkyOldPatina]

Hi guys,

I've seen beetle footrests before which this is similar to, but this one is different (yes I realise its RHD ) in that it has a fold where the accelerator pedal would go through?

Does anyone know what VW this is off? I have Google checked for Type 4 411/412 and nothing has come up for that, and this is the first of these I've seen.

Thanks guys.

It might be a type 3 right side RHD foot plate. I only say that due to the distance of the clutch pedal slot from the brake pedal slot.

Thanks for your thoughts. I've not found a pic online of a LHD Type3 drivers foot plate to see if it is the mirror opposite of that?

Or maybe its a Type 34 or Thing plate?

Either way it's not one I've seen before

This is a LHD foot plate from my Squareback (1969).

Try contacting Samba member parmaynu.
About 9 years ago he said he sells replacement RHD Beetle pedal parts, and he may identify this for you.

First thought was that's for sure a RHD plate, but mine has a slightly more vertical clutch pedal opening. It does still seems like it would be from a RHD type 3 though?

I've included a picture of the one I have, it's off a ~71 RHD squareback pan.

Glad I could help! Yeah, the RHD pedal assembly is pretty different, and the reason it's not a perfect mirrror is that the pedals are still in the same order left to right for both LHD and RHD..

I'm assuming the plate you have there will be earlier and suit a pedal assembly where the stalk for the clutch pedal is angled outward more than mine. I'm not sure of the year to year differences there..

It sure looks different. Compare it to this pic from the parts manual.

Everything sounds good on paper!
