Thanks for the kind words guys.
A little update on the foot rests.
Here is one of my butt ugly footrests to reference the color, rib width and treads on the Aero.
My son saw them in my truck, held them up and said: "What are these dad? Eww their gross looking.." so it's a verified problem.
Originally I was going to find something close and cut it to size. I found a wide ribbed material but they didn't stock it in grey so I ordered a pt. of rubber Marine paint in a light gray.
The more I thought about it. The more it bugged me the decision I made.
Soo....
I got ahold of a rubber flooring manufacturer in Shenzen and gave him exact dimensions of rib and tread width and come up with this:
This Color:
This Style with custom rib and tread width:
His min order qty was 150cm x 2 km and only wanted to mail a swatch... Unghh
I told him I would pay for airmail and wanted a larger size and convinced him to do a 150cm x 2M run and airmail it.
He agreed and a close to 1:1 is on its way from china!
I am going to to take them to my stickers guy and use his print cutter to cut to exact sizes.
I have enough for x51 Repro Aero foot rests panels which I will hook up APeople with.
The rest will be sold on ebay to help recoup my repair costs.
What do you think?
Edit: changed first page of my thread to an Aero City foot rest interest.
