Default Rattling floorboard or shifter...
I have a problem with this at a certain RPM. I don't have a tach so I don't know the rpm and I don't think it really matters. It is either the floorboard or the shifter rattling. It looks like the floorboard is nice and tight so is there way to keep it from rattling? Maybe a rubber bushing or something? Suggestions? Thanks...

same problem on my Heritage 'cept on the right. I thought it was the brake pedal, but it was the right board and only at certain RPM's, The bolt was tight but there was a gap that let it rattle. A couple of washers did the trick for me too

It has been fixed. 2 1/4" lock washers on the front screw and 1 on the back screw. Uh, did someone say Screw? Beavis...
