Title: A65 Rear Footrests.
Post by: A10 JWO on 03 Apr, 2018, 17:06
Got a brand new pair today. The bolt that goes through frame has a 30 mm shoulder before the thread starts. Should there be a large spacer somewhere ? There was no footrest on the frame when I bought it. Overall the bolt is 45 mm long. Thanks.

Can you remind us what year the A65 is?

Scratch that, Ive just seen from your posts further down its a 1971 OIF. Sorry!

The 1971 parts list, lists (but is not shown) a washer 02-0861 which if you look on the Draganfly website it looks quite thick but is difficult to determine the ID and OD from the picture. I would give them a call and ask for the dimensions and that will probably give you an idea.
Hope this helps

Hi,
          Part number 02-0861 dimensions are 3/8"x3/4"x0.092".

It could be part number 29-7565 which looks thicker:

Thanks Bess looks like it. Just fitted the motor into the frame. All went well, I am getting old.  ;D

This looks like the one fitted to the pre OIF model which spaces out the exhaust bracket. I don't have any thick spacers like these on my OIF Thunderbolt, but I do on the Pre OIF Royal Star.

I think I have the wrong " Universal" footrests. Back to the drawing board.
