The lack of a footrest in the T6.1 is an issue for me as it causes an issue in my left knee to be exacerbated and proven on my 3500 mile trip to/around/back from Europe. I've seen lots of comments on how you adapted after 20 mins or a day etc so this thread isn't for you.

I scoured ebay and the net for VW/Audi etc footrests that were hollow on the back. Eventually found this.

Bent over a scrap piece of metal and played around with the angle

Then used some fibreglass to bond it to the footrest. This piece just so happened to have lots of holes in it so saved me drilling holes to allow the fibreglass to ooze through them and make a stronger bond.

The "side" is covered in tape to block the holes and then super strong velcro was used so it attaches to the tunnel side.

It is adjustable to can be moved around to suit the driver accordingly and also rubber mats slot around it without needing to be trimmed.
