Floorboard problems.

Post by Sarikatime » Tue Jun 14, 2022 6:32 pm

The floorboards on my touring are not working for me. Took out the warford and put in a ruckstell but the hole now is in a different place. The ruckstell shifter was under my knees and it drove me crazy so I bent it . Now the floorboard is a mess and I cannot take it up because the emergency brake handle is leaning left and the ruckstell shifter is leaning right and neither wants to bend enough to take up the floorboard. What have you guys done to make service accessible to the hogsheads? Frank

I'd likely cut out a new floorboard to fit Frank.

Frank, You can remove the hand brake from underneath the car to get the floor board out. Just options!

Frank, Move the Ruckstell lever to the far left side in line with and directly behind the hand brake lever, then make new floorboards. You can get in from the right side and have nothing in your way.
