Thumbs up New arm rest in 5spd SS

From Auto zone , It was 24.99
Swaped the original cheap vinyl top, and put on a piece of Grey rattle snake pattern, embosed leather that was left over from a job.
It sure is nice to have an armrest again, its positioned so that it does not effect the e brake or shiffting. Happy Happy Joy Joy

It came with 2 brackets, Its held in place by 6 screws in to the sides of the consule. It is super sturdy . it has a storage tray in front-(for change), a large inside compartment, and a double drink holder that slides out the rear section.
the 3 factory drink holders are all still usable.
I moved the drivers seat up to show one of the brackets, when the seat is in it's regular position, the brackets are barly visable .

Ya, the snake skin look dos'nt really match, But every month or so i seem to end up with a little extra leather from a job, so i'm hoping for some black or plain gray soon.

It does not move.
It's top lifts up, Like a regular armrest .
The front of the tray says EZEBOX . I don't know if thats the maufacturer. The box it was in , on the shelf looked like it was there for 10 years. And it was all taped up and was the only one there. So i don't know if they are readily avalible. I will say for a few bucks, a 10 min. install, and a perfect size for the original consule, It is welllll worth it.
If you can't find one, and really want one, let me know, and i'll start stoping at the ten differant autozone i drive by every week.
