I am fabricating my rear arm rest panels, and I need a measurement from where the arm rest meets the filler panel forward to where the armrest bends/angles over to the outside. I have a cardboard mockup in right now, and I think it's too long in that dimension, but it's tough to tell from photos.

TIA!

9 5/8", including the upholstery.

You are the man! I'm trying to bend my own, because with the 4th gen retractors just above the dog bone where I have them, I think the arm rest needs to be about 1/2 inch higher (from the floor) and the hole is a little farther forward than the ash tray hole.

So, rather than shell out $110 buck and shipping for repros I'll be cutting and extending, I figured I'd give this a try. I do want the repro covers to fit over what I make if possible, so that the stitching looks right.

Big fun now!

Thanks again!
