Step 11Attach the Base Plate
With the pedal working you can attach the plastic base plate.
If you haven't already, frost one side of the plastic by sanding it with 150 or 200 grit sandpaper. Get it as even as you can.
Lay the base onto the bottom of the frame, and mark out locations for the screws. I used 7 flat-head wood screws placed in strategic locations.
Drill out the holes using the correct bit for the size of screw you have. Then, countersink the holes on the shiny side of the plastic. Be very careful, the plastic is thin and it's very easy to drive the countersink straight through the plastic!
With the holes drilled, reposition the plastic plate onto the base and screw it in place.
Add rubber feet to the base to prevent the pedal from sliding around.
And that's it! Have fun and be sure to show off to all your envious friends. ;)
