New?? Armrest idea

[RDawson]

I hadn't found an armrest mount that I liked until I ran across these. They are Bimini top clamps for a boat. I did have to cut away part of the rubber coating on the grab rails and drilled and tapped a set screw in the back of the clamps. They fit nice and tight. They are test fitted in the pic, she asked for them a little too tall I think. I'll let her try them before I cut them down and finish the aesthetics.

Looks good. Great job.

Thanks Don, just sharing the idea if somebody wants to build some. It made for an easy fab.

Do they pivot at the rear to allow access?

Yes, the bolt just under the rear of the pad is a pivot point, they fold up. I'm not a fan of the ones that pivot out. We'll test em this week going to Don's and if she's happy I'll have a local upholstery shop make some nice covers. I just wrapped em with black vinyl for now. As you can see I'm not an upholsterer. They also clear the trunk rest by 1/4" when it's open.
