JDM Center console armrest

[jakeafton]

Curious, I can't find any info on this, but judging by the way it looks I assume some type of modification is necessary to get the ebrake handle to fit through the slot. Yes? No? I may have found one at a good price..

And as far as removing the armrest attached to my drivers seat, does it have an ugly look to the side of it once removed? If so, does the new armrest cover the uglyness?

going off of what i've seen others say...

I still dont see how the hell you fit them into 9293s with the off-center ebrake..

.

The holes are there on the frame. All you've gotta do is unscrew the ebrake and shift it over! You may have to add washers or re-tap the holes.

sounds easy enough, lol. later.

1. Pull out center console.
Note: Make a note of how the ebrake tensioner is setup so you can put it back together.
2. Loosen ebrake up with tensioner bolt. (Go slow as to not lose pcs)
3. Remove 2 bolts holding ebrake down.
4. Enlarge 2 mounting wholes on ebrake
(There are 2 more wholes to the left of original mounting spots for center location)
5. Use Washers and original bolts, remount ebrake.
6. Tighten ebrake tensioner bolt.
7. Install new center console.

These were my steps, and now loving life, as the prelude seats had ZERO armrest!
Now I just need a new armrest cover!

eyyy drummer, use "Rit" dye and dye your armrest cover black! I just died it black with rit and it's hella clean now. i'll post pics up of my install hopefully soon, i just finished making my console black.

unfortunately, my center threads aren't threaded :[ i gotta do it myself.

prelude seats, nice, sorry to whore up thread but i like the style is it hard?

[drummersteve7]

was not that complicated. lil drilling and voila, done!

as far as dying the armrest, no thank you, I do not believe in dye.
Gotta wear nice clothes to work, and in no way am I considering having dye get onto my clothing by some off chance.

The probability is low, but low is too high. If that makes sense.
Plus trading it for a tan one this weekend! with a nice colored aremrest!
so no worries there. My interior is tan, so it will match better.

ahh fasho drummer i gotcha

I made sure when i dyed it, i rinsed it until the water became clear, and then i washed it with detergent and rinsed it again and kept doing that until that water was crystal clear. then i let it dry in the sun for 2 days, hahaha so i think i'll be okay. they gotta get that color into the fabric somehow!

sick score on the tan armrest!!

what size thread did you tap the holes with?

[drummersteve7]

I did not tap any holes.
My holes were already there.
I just had to enlarge the hole son the ebrake itself for mounting.
I enlarged the hole sthen used washers.

My car already had holes in the center area, I just used those.
The armrest does not line up perfectly in the middle, but it is perfect for my needs. It sits a lil closer to the passenger seat.
