Arm rest options?
 

I've been looking at the $35 foam arm rest on 86 speed, since I want to avoid drilling. I can't find much on this forum about them, anyone care to point me to a thread of all my options, or perhaps care to share their opinions?

I have the 35 dollar one. Its not perfect, but it does the job. I found that the bands that hold it to the cup holder did stretch over time though.

I really don't want to drill, and I'd like it to at least feel comfortable. If the quality is good too, I am willing to pay more.

I'm the same way. Didn't want to drill. I figured for the 30 bucks I would give it a shot.http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...2&postcount=43

Here is my solution for the center armrest. Please excuse the really lame video. It was my first video. The thing really works well, though....

What are your complaints? How long have you had it now?

For those not wanting to drill, 3M double-sided tape should work fine. In fact, I believe folks have installed the European style armrest that way on a couple of occasions. If it will hold a ducktail on the car it will certainly hold an armrest.

I had one of those foam arm rests. It lasted about 2 months. The elastic bands that hold it to the cup holder stretched out and it barely fits the cup holder opening width wise. This same ebay vendor I purchased it from refunded me the price minus the shipping charge. It's the same one 86Speed sells but cheaper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sports-Cente...9SlX2w&vxp=mtr

Get one of the oem ones and like Dadhawk said use 3M double sided tape to install it if you don't want to drill.

Biggest complaint is that the elastic bands are too far apart and don't fit over the cup holder. They also stretch too much. So I used a safety pin on the bottom to hold them together.

Both hands should be on the wheel at all times, why the need for an arm rest? :P

If you can find a used one somewhere the Carsmo armrest is awesome. A little pricey though and they recently discontinued them.

If both hands should be on the wheel at all times, then everyone should be driving an AT as well. :bellyroll:

If you mount the OEM armrest you need to shave off 3 alignment tabs.
