Re: Armrests?

Re: Armrests?
I have the nuts on the drivers side but not on the passenger (though the holes are there). I think that's pretty common as a lot of these didn't have passenger arm rests.
My (simple) solution is going to be welding some nuts to the back of the panel. Easy easy! |

Re: Armrests?
What you need is a couple of 1/4-20 cage nuts. I've gotten them at a fasteners supply store before. I'll look and see if I have some...

Re: Armrests?
You can get the square nuts for securing the arm rests to the door from:
www.classicparts.com I have purchased and used them. They work well. I caution people from attaching the arm rests directly to the door panel, because they have a tendancy to "oil-can" when pulled on, to shut the door. By attaching them through the door panel and into the door shell, they are much more solid. Last edited by LILRED66; 07-15-2008 at 11:55 AM. |

www.classicheartbeat.com has them, too. They are listed as 67-72 Door Panel / Arm Rest Captured Nuts.

Re: Armrests?
Thanks guys i picked up some cage nuts for the 64 door armrests ,on my 67 they are mounted on the outside,do these mount on the inside on a 64? I tried them on the outside and it seemed to be to far out?

Re: Armrests?
The cage nuts are available at Classic Parts, about $.49 each.
