400 Foot treads

Post by stevenh »

I am working on a ‘72 400 resto. I am wondering if I can get some ideas on how to re-stick the foot tread rubbers back on the floorboards. I used a heat gun to get them off and there is old adhesive on them. What would work to reattach them? Thanks

My wife makes reproduction foot treads and we've found the best adhesive to be double sided carpet tape. Other adhesives don't care to stay stuck in place during cold weather. DA
