Infini leg rest pads?

[Whizbang]

i have seen these before and i have no idea if they are an optional item or not. But does anyone have pictures of them installed or where they are located?

stole this pic from "elsewhere"

[Whizbang]

now the question is how are they held on.. is it part of the door panel or do they clip, screw or velcro on?

[djmtsu]

Screw the pads, gimme the seats!!

[SpooledupRacing]

the pads are a neat touch though.. so is the passenger foot bar..

I do like the seats but I dont know if they would be good for "holding u in"

[Whizbang]

would anyone be interested in a NEW replicaish pad meant for US cars?

[SpooledupRacing]

I would show me a pic and let me see what u have in mind. but yes.

As long as they clear door bars and the front legs of a cage, i'm good, lol..

i would have to see your clearances

i have been prototyping a few ideas. i am going to start testing and building some models in the coming weeks. Mostly trying to find the perfect points to have a pad while driving. Give me about two weeks for some rough drafts so to speak.

[SpooledupRacing]

sounds good u got my ears perked!

ill keep an eye on this post. this seems interesting.

[Flooder]

Yah, hurry up and make some of these, I'll buy some.

[Whizbang]

the mounting for the door panel one will require the drilling of your door card to accept the mounting studs. The first versions will be for cars with the "pockets" on the doors. I may produce another version for those without.

[SpooledupRacing]

Ill have to check but being a base I don't think I have any "pockets"

[Whizbang]

ill look at the junkyard for a door car without the pocket. The foam will have to be thicker BUT the pad will be larger which i see as a benefiet.

[Flooder]

Yah, I have a GTUs and it doesn't have the map pockets on the door panels.

[Whizbang]

hmm well maybe ill do the non map pocket door first

[Whizbang]

if ANYONE knows of a picture of the back side of the pad, i would greatly appreciate it

[Whizbang]

i acquired a non map pocket door card with the crank windows. I am hoping to see if i can make this work with the crank windows as well as power.

[SpooledupRacing]

Oh Oh Oh ... Saweet :)

[Whizbang]

the prototype for the map pocket model is done. The center console prototype pad is also done and are being tested in my car. Once i am satisfied ill start making the first prototype in the actual materials.

And the crank window, non map pocket seems like it might be working out as well!

My driving impressions with just the real rough rough model i seem to like it. I am going off my own thickness, firmness, size and contact area. Plus i ensured that even my 5'1" fiancee with the seat almost all the way up can still sit without the seat hitting the pad.

And with my 6'1" self, it should cover a good spread of people!

oo0o0o. care to show some pics ;)

[Whizbang]

ill be posting pictures of the prototypes made from the materials im using. The current ones are a constant cut and refit mess since i have been making small changes.

[RotaryXperiment]

ah ok cool
