On the subject of Metal pedal covers - DESIGN OPTIONS

Post by **norks27** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 9:19 am

Matt took on the feedback, thanks @NafemanNathan, managed to put an extra hole in or two.

There are 2 designs, these are 5th gen ones at the moment:

Design 2 is my favoured design. I've emailed Mat to let him know I'll gauge opinion from Ludegen.

What do you all think???

Not sure how to set up a poll so people can vote?

The 4th gen pedal would mimic the 5th design but with 4th gen font.

I prefer number 2 definitely!

You're (He's) gonna hate me!

I can't help but see that the holes don't run inline/parallel with the longest edge of the plate. Basically, the red lines should run parallel with the green.

This image also highlights how even some of the rows of holes are even misaligned (The blue ellipse).

I figure if you're paying this guy/company for a service, it should be right. And these are really things he should be picking up on as a designer anyway

Nafe you are banned from this thread,

The diagram is really useful, i'll forward it Mat. The trouble with this pedal is the unusual shape, most are just plain rectangles.

Outside of that I think design 2 wins for me.

The pattern of holes is good, anymore and it will look silly imo.

I was going to suggest you could ask me to keep shtum from now on

Yeah, it's the right amount of holes, but like I said, it's because that is the longest edge. On image 1, if you look at the two holes top and bottom of the right hand red line, they should be the same distance from the green edge

No thanks Nathan,

I've forwarded your drawing to Mat @Autocovr, so very useful indeed.

Appreciate your input, only doing this design once so it needs to be right.

Exactly!

You would need to start a new thread, enter a thread subject and post text as normal but then right at the bottom before you post, click the "poll creation" tab and fill in the poll header and list out the options in the box below (a new line for each option), select the number of days you want it to run for and whether you want people to be able to choose only one or more than option and be able to change their vote.
Screenshots below.

Entering the details;

How that would look once posted;

Thanks Iain,

Mat will take on board Nathan's keen eye and hopefully I'll start a new thread soon, with fresh pics.
