MG TD TF 1500 - Passenger foot rest 51TD

Well, imagine my surprise when I'm rebuilding the floorboards and researching on the forum and I suddenly realize... I have never had a passenger foot rest on this MG!
Not sure when or how it disappeared, but I'm sure some long legged passenger removed it long ago.
So... does anyone have one for sale? They are available at the usual $$$ on Moss, but I would happily strip and refinish a used one...

Geoffrey - There was never a toe board in our TD from the time we bought it. We have driven all over the western US in the TD with no toe board and when I asked my wife if it would be more comfortable with one installed (she is only 5' 3"), she said emphatically, "no! where would I put my purse and the other stuff we carry on long trips if there was a toe board installed - that is where I stash all of that stuff." We still don't have a toe board - the next owner will have to get one and install it. Cheers - Dave

I had a drive in a TF as a passenger recently & at 6ft I found I really needed the missing foot rest, even just traveling a short distance. Kilmartin in Victoria have them for about $45 AUD. Cheers

It is easy enough to make one up.
Mine has a hinged door and doubles up as extra storage.
Spare dizzy, coil, fuel pump and VR fit in nicely. When it is carpeted nobody knows if it is original. When I bought the TF that was where the washer bottle lived.

Love to see a pic, Ray!

Does this help?. Remember my TF is a user not a show car.

Brain fade !. No longer hinged but lipped at the bottom and wingnutted at the top. Also forgot spare top hose, plugs and cap for non standard dizzy fitted at the moment. I do have a list in the toolbox reminding me where things are stored including recessed tray in the sidescreen box.

Thanks for the photos, Ray. I definitely think I will look at adding something with a storage space when I get around to this project...
