scso160 Posted August 16, 2011 #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
Grisolm1 Posted August 16, 2011 #2 Posted August 16, 2011 Wet or dry sandpaper with abrasive on clamp side worked for mine.
painterman67 Posted August 16, 2011 #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
Freebird Posted August 16, 2011 #4 Posted August 16, 2011 Yes, any of the above will work or even just a couple wraps of electrical tape.
muaymendez1 Posted August 16, 2011 #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.
scso160 Posted August 16, 2011 Author #6 Posted August 16, 2011 Thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice. Glad to know its not something I screwed up....sounds like I'm not the only one who's had this issue. Thanks again! Bret
