Administrators gav240z Posted December 28, 2015 Administrators Posted December 28, 2015 Hi Everyone, Does anyone have suggestions on where I can get replacement rubber grip for a Fairlady Z foot rest? This is what I'm talking about. http://jdm-car-parts.com/products/original-style-foot-rest-for-jdm-fairlady-z-and-roadster-sp-sr The rubber ribbed piece that sits along the top edge of the tubing. Mine is missing the rubber and I went to Clarke Rubber but they didn't have anything really suitable. So I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has any ideas? Quote
brent012 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Maybe a cricket bat grip could work? Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted December 28, 2015 Moderators Posted December 28, 2015 I had a look for this when cleaning up my interior. Couldn't find anything , I didn't look that hard, so just sanded it back then painted it satin black. If you find anything that looks the part, I would be in for a length as well. Cheers PB Quote
260DET Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Used some split heater hose on my mine back in the day, with a couple of cable ties to hold it in place.. Quote
Linton Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I think I got mine from clarke rubber it was on a roll exactly the same, I have used it on my motorcycle foot rest boards and the foot bar in the z Quote
Sirpent Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 This once cut to size wrapped and glued should replicate what you are after http://www.bunnings.com.au/ideal-rubber-sbr-fine-rib-1mt-wide_p6611081 Quote

Any suggestions on a type of adhesive that would work? Quote

Will be holding it in place to dry with either cable ties or masking tape. That is what I will be trying anyway. Cheers PB Edited January 3, 2016 by PB260Z Quote
