So I'm cleaning the garage and find the passenger side foot rest for our '70. It's in great shape but I'm wondering what the strap clips to on the car? There is only one strap. It is unused judging from the wear on the carpet, I know I've never used it in the 33 years we've owned the car. Any pictures? Thanks, Mike

strap on foot rest is suppose to have a clip that attaches to a D-ring which I believe is attached on the right side tunnel.

I believe the D-ring is attached to one of the screws that hold the right-side speaker pod on.

I've been looking for someone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) to have an extra D-ring lying around for several years now. It's usually the the first thing to go missing when one takes the right side speaker off for any reason. Any one have a D-ring they aren't going to use??????? Ron |

The statement about the D ring and the speaker screw is correct. . it was a woven strap about 1/2 inch wide with a chrome D ring, , , On my 914'6 six, the strap is about an inch long, and is attached at the lower speaker / longitudinal screw. A perfect replacement would be a small dog collar end. . my strap looks to be a dark gray but could have been black when new. .

What does the end that connects to the speaker screw look like? A grommet maybe?

Thanks for the pictures, The original owner put speakers with bigger magnets in, thus the enclosures wouldn't lay flat and gapped out a half inch. I'm sure the strap went in the trash with the speaker screw. I see from the pictures, you have a different strap than mine. My strap is made of the fuzy looking carpet material. Ours has a build date of 1/70. Any idea when this changed?

I paid $75 for this one. I got a second in a box of parts for $40.

Thanks for all the pictures, seeing as the footrest isn't worth as much as a new old stock bumper and I can't retire by selling it, I need to start looking for a D ring. Mike
