Arm Rests

Postby Monza Harry » Sat Sep 21, 2013 9:23 pm

Here's a link for armrests seems to be a few members looking for these. This is an ebay store I see on my parts quests! They may have brick and mortar store, listed in Roseville MI on ebay This should be correct for H-Body's with the lock in the armrest, as the vette had the same arrangement. http://store.tracyvette.com/item/460/ [EDIT] I also found the armrests on the Canadian side of the border and he lists 2 pages of the armrests and in colours http://www.corvettedepot.ca/index.php?m ... 8_180_1204 Harry

I have said this before. We need a forum section set up for posts exactly like this one. Name of the part in the title where you can go when you need something for your car and look to see where you can find it. There are lots of H-body parts that are interchangeable with other GM cars that people discover and we need to retain that information in one easy to access knowledge base.

It is a VERY good idea to have this type of data base to refer to.

Someone must have take a closer look at Camero armrests to see if they are the same - they look really close to what I have in my Monza - except that they aren't broken...

Thanks. I see from other post now that the C3 Corvette armrests are the same.

And currently being Re-Popped with a steel substructure. Try and find someone local selling them, I checked out a local place's and the steel had shown through inside the handle, just a small spot but not good for their price. Zeke bought a set for his Spyder [shown in his Build Thread Interior starts around Pg. 17 viewtopic.php?f=20&t=20344&start=240] and his were good, so just check if possible first. Originals in good shape are rare! Harry

I picked up a pair of new reproductions on Ebay for $125. Perfect fit, nice quality. Magnet says there is steel through the handle.

He forgot to trim a couple of the interior ribs that need to clear the locking pin but it only took a few minutes to do myself. The mold is already scored at the right place so it was impossible to get wrong.

Used can be had cheaper, but there was no question that these were good to go, didn't need to by dyed, etc.

Just search c3 corvette door pull for new or used options. The Corvette part is definitely 100% identical.

Great tip guys, thanks.
