scso160 Posted August 16, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2011 The left side highway foot rest is loose. The allen screws are tight, but cant get enough squeeze on the bar. Any ideas what I can use as a shim to allow the screws to pull the clamp together tighter on the bar? Thanks for the help. Bret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisolm1 Posted August 16, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2011 Wet or dry sandpaper with abrasive on clamp side worked for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painterman67 Posted August 16, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 16, 2011 I ve heard of peaple cutting a shim or 2 out of aluminum beer or soda cans and add as many as needed. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted August 16, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 16, 2011 Yes, any of the above will work or even just a couple wraps of electrical tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muaymendez1 Posted August 16, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 16, 2011 Just as good as electrical tape but has a sticky surface on the oout side is non adhesive medical tape. i asked my nurse for some when I was going for blood tests and I used it on clamps for the ex pass holder.
