You used to be able to buy custom footpegs called "Sundance" pegs. They were chromed with grooves machined around them & rubber O rings fitted. Unfortunately the O rings used to break & fall off as your feet rubbed them. So you either had to put in a regular order for new O rings from your local bolt shop or hydraulics supplier, or run the pegs without rubbers.
I assume the pedal sections are welded to the arms now so can't be put in a lathe & knurled?

They are welded (well, it is, not done the brake yet) Could soon cut it off, but not got any knurling facilities.
I did wonder about knurning, will mull that over .......

So I started with a sheet of 10mm thick silicon rubber and chopped a bit off the corner

Then I cut an 8mm slot in a piece of scrap, and poked the silicon into it. If I go for this idea I will add a big blob of silicon rubber to the bottom to glue it in

finally a bit of shaping with the angle grinder and a sanding disk on the silicon rubber produced this

With a bit of care a few of these may also look nice. Will try the anti slip paint that scannerzer came up with as well first before I decide. This way adds a little texture, could be good, could be bad.

Cheers Stumpy. So now I have 3 options, none slip paint, silicon rubber inserts and knurling. Decisions decisions. Must admit I like the idea of knurling. |

did a little today. Tacked in the fuel pump bracket. Checked the tank for water tightness and made good a little weep at a weld with some new weld The inline filter will be positioned between with stainless braided connecting the lot. Might spay the pump "chrome" to bling it up. |
