MG TD TF 1500 - Passenger footrest on a TF

Could some kind person please send me a sketch with the dimensions of the passenger footrest. It will be too expensive to import one and they look easy to make. The one from my car is missing so I do not have a sample to copy.This only became apparent when I was checking on replacing my carpets with a Moss set. Thanks in anticipation. Paul.

They cost just $46 from Kilmartin in Victoria. I'm a dead set "do it yourselfer" but I couldn't knock one together for that. The quality is terrific. Would the shipping be all that exorbitant from Victoria to NZ? Cheers

Thanks Peter. I'll send them an enquiry. It is always the shipping that seems to cost!

Paul -- I have a TF footrest that I will not use and you are welcome to it at no cost, except for the cost of mailing. I have no idea what the mailing cost would be, but could find out for you in the next couple of days. The footrest has been powder coated; which I had done when I thought I was going to put it back in the TF.

I have attached three photos. Let me know if this will work for you.

That is a very generous offer John.
If it is not too much trouble then I would appreciate you checking the cost of postage. Is the face that the passenger's feet sit on normally dished? I have no idea what to expect. Thanks.

Paul -- You have email.

Wow John! Someone must have really hit the brakes for a passenger to bend one like that! Who says T Series brakes are no good!?

Paul, that panel should be flat on both the upper and inclined planes.

Here's an image of a TD footrest, showing the view from the underside. It's pretty obvious that the stamped cross areas are to prevent that sort of bending. Bud

If anyone has a footwell that fits a TD (not sure if there is a difference) in this or worse condition I would be interested, I would like to use it as a model to make a storage compartment, as described in a past thread.

That could be easily straightened out. Someone had to put a lot of pressure on it to bend it that much, 7 footer maybe! LOL. PJ
