This buggy needs a telescoping steering wheel to be comfortable for us shorter guys.

On the other hand, I moved the seat allllll the way back when I was driving tonight and I couldn't hold the skinny pedal at speed lol.
These cars were made for tall folks or short folks with long arms.
To me , the armrests are an afterthought design. I need a 6" shorter torso for these to be comfortable. I'm 5'9", and I did a trip to NJ in 22 hrs w/o the armrests, and was completely comfy with that. ( left hand at 12 o'clock, right on shifter)

I could not see the 2 washers since they are still in my armrest, but your sequence seems accurate. I assume the curved washer is to keep tension on the bolt...

HEY

My drivers side armrest is starting to crack from my pointy elbow. Are the two armrests interchangeable, as in could I put the drivers side on the pass side so the unsightly crack will be facing the floor? I would assume they are but, you never know.

Try it and let us know. Don't know how they will mate up to the arm stops
