New 911 Footboards (High Quality Plywood) 4 Macmillan!

O.K. Gang, these represent the (slightly belated :oops: ) finale of the 2007 Macmillan Charity activities (update on how we've done so far: http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewto ... c&start=30 ). Now's your chance to replace those squidgy, de-laminated foot / pedal boards, and be able to hold your head high once again.

Ron Vincent (professional cabinet maker and furniture restorer) has been making these for a little while now. For those that have not seen them, they are of beautiful quality, and have been fitted to many a high-quality 911.

He can supply left and right hand drive coupe, and left hand drive targa. All you need to add is your original metal brackets (ideally using copper rivets), and you're good to go. Supplied in matt black.

One pair are up for grabs with 100% of winning bid going to Macmillan Cancer Support. Ron has kindly agreed to include P&P if needed as well (U.K. Address). I'll P.M. the winner with details, but basically payment to be cheque made out to Macmillan Cancer Support, sent to me and I'll record the details, add a gift-aid form and pass it on.

It just remains for me to thank Ron for his kind support (and idea), and to say that I'll end the auction at 10:00 P.M., friday 25th January. Bidding starts at £50 .....

I've done it again ( :oops: ) Just to confirm, Ron can supply LHD / RHD Coupe, and LHD Targa (not RHD Targa as I first said above). Now editted: wouldn't be so bad, but Ron had already reminded me of this on the charity thread :roll: .

Sorry Folks ....

Anyway, thanks for the bids so far 8).

I wish this had come along about 6 months ago for me.
These represent really good value folks, especially the RHD ones - I had to buy one from Porsche (the right hand drivers board only) and it cost £130 just for that one :shock:

Well done Barry and Ron :)
