Need some help identifying driver footpads
« on: June 26, 2016, 06:32:57 PM »
Good afternoon everyone comma I need some help identifying foot pads for my K100 1984.

These are the rubber foot pads that your feet rest on closest to the rear brake pedal and gearbox gear selector.

I guess I ordered the wrong ones because they do not fit correctly shown in the picture below. However realoem and the dealership show the same but different foot pads then what I need.

Can anyone help me out?

Wrong foot pads:



Wrong on left, correct on right side:


Also the rubber is a lot squishier and it doesn't support as well where as the old ones or the correct ones seem to be solid rubber.

Correct footpad pics.



And just for reference none of the BMW diagrams have these at the end.

This is a guess but possibly the end bit was an optional scraper, will the new foot peg rubbers fit better if you don't fit the scrapers.

I thought I found the right foot peg rubber for you here for a European model..

It shows the metal piece you have but its still got the same part number for the rubber.

This is pretty odd.


Well I sorta fixed it (but would enjoy new ones anyway).


I took the old un-used passenger ones and put them on the front. Then used the new/squishy ones and put those on the passenger.

Cant really tell now.

Now that's old-school creative thinking, jjs.   :clap: As the ancient Vermont saying goes: Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without, and if that doesn't work, feck it. Do something else.

Rubber goes hard with age, that's why the new ones are squishier. You could always buy some more and leave them out in the sun to age them.
