My first modification to my new to me RT
Very nice!!
Lookin' pretty good to me!! :thumbup:
Maybe you could add a quick touch of black paint to those shiny bolt heads on the boards and the brackets too, just to make them blend in a bit better?! :dontknow:
Your call, they certainly look as tho they'll do the job, and probably keep juust a bit more spray off your feet than some?! :rolleyes:
That’s the plan to paint the screw heads. All the screws and nuts are stainless, so no rust. Just need a good warm day to do it, boards are painted with bed liner.Quote:

The diamond plate came from a scrap yard and the color didn’t exactly match even after polishing, so I sprayed the with bed liner. $14.00 worth of aluminum and about $20.00 in supplies and hardware. Can’t beat them.
Can you elaborate on the attachment? Pics possibly? Thanks Dave
I will post some more pictures tomorrow
Love to get some pics OR can I have you make a pair?
His are similar to mine ..... I can't tell if He bent His or not ??? ...... my boards are not bent, after taking the oem rubber pads off the pegs, I mounted the boards using the oem angle and hardware ...... the rear of mine are a bit higher in the rear , they will be just ABOVE the bolt head shown in His pics, so my bracket is hidden under the board completely ...... the reason I went with the same angle as the pegs were to make sure the Brake Pedal could be FULLY applied in a Panic stop..... it's hard to tell if His can do that ..... On the RT-S and RTL the oem boards can drop lower in the front in a Panic stop ..... I haven't found my angle to be un-comfortable ..... it feels right ...... Mike :thumbup:Quote:

I haven’t had a chance to take more pictures yet. I put a 1” square tubing spacer between my brake pedal rubber pad and brake arm to allow for panic braking. Works great.
