G'day Bert
We had this issue with my friend's BN1. We planned to make a hardwood female
mould to go inside the footwell, and a steel male die to go outside, drill a
small hole in the footwell where the indentation was required and pull the
two together with a screw. A bit more positive than bashing away with a
hammer even if you have room to get a swing at it. In the end, he went back
to the people who did the body work - I don't know how they did it.
Cheers
