[s-cars] Drivers Seat Arm Rest Delete parts

[Manuel Sanchez]

Fellow S-heads,

I MacGyvered a drivers seat armrest delete and thought I’d share in  
case anyone else was considering the same. The plastic hinge on my  
armrest had broken, and thus was making too much noise, so much that  
I could not here my annoying squeak from the rear avant hatch that  
has been with me for years.

Admittedly, this may not be the perfect fix for everyone, the part is  
not german nor is it metric, but so far so good.

Parts I used:
CBK 3000 Clamping Knob

1-3/4" Diameter

5/16 - 18 Thread

1-1/2" Long Stud (you will trim off 3/8" of threaded stud to work  
with OEM Spacer)





If you try mcmaster carr's website www.mcmaster.com, use these  
keywords in your search and you will get the idea:



clamping knob /  Mounting Type  /  Knob Type  / Round Knob Style



The part number is 6479K38 (but this is for the imperial version)  
Please note that I didn't take the time to wait for a shipped version  
from them, I just used what I found at my local hardware store, and  
this McMaster Carr item seems to be close to what I found locally.



McMaster Carr has metric versions, I didn't look to hard,  which  
would likely be a better fit of course.
