[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 123711, member: 161"] I suggest you are overthinking this. All you need to do is put the smallest of blobs of weld on the back of the hinge end of the footrest where it touches the footrest bracket. File or grind the weld until sits where you want it to. You can weld it using almost any ordinary welding rod, stick tig. You are not going to be putting much heat into the footrest in the second that it takes to just put a spot on. Bill's suggestion of grub screws is a good one that I have used myself on one of my rider footrests but it a bit more work than a blob of weld. [/QUOTE]
