jdm armrest install, help
Been trying to print the template found here
http://www.toyota-tech.eu/aimuploads..._002_827_0.pdf The printout is a little too small. I tried the settings "normal size printing" and "scaled printing" set to 100% they print exactly the same. Anyone else run into this? any ideas? |

never mind....i just kept printing while trying higher scaling until I got one to be happy with.
For some reason I thought it was supposed to print perfect at 100%. Its a good thing it was a fair ways off because i wasn't using a ruler to check but looking through the holes to see if they lined up. at 99% I might have thought it was right and started drilling |

It's off because its suppose to be printed on A4 size paper. For the template I just used a 11x17 sheet

That makes sense. I never knew we used our own NA paper size(Letter) nor had I ever heard of A4.
I scaled mine to 104% and measured with a caliper. I'm a little nervous about drilling the holes |

Drill the holes on the hinge side with the template. Screw in the armrest and then drill the remaining holes using the armrest as a guide. Worked great for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
