The Toyota OEM armrest
 
I have the OEM Toyota arm rest. In the kit they provide the screw cap plugs for the screws that hold the arm pad to the plastic armrest mount but they don't provide any caps for the hex screws that mount the whole thing to the center console. I'm looking for some 5/16 inch caps that match the ones that come in the kit. The ones I need should be Black Textured 5/16 inch. The ones that come in the kit have no lip at the top. They are smooth from the top of the side to the bottom of the side. You can see the caps that come with the armrest at: OEM armrest unboxing/review.(supramkivtt2jz)Look at the 7th picture and you will see the caps that come with it but if you look at picture 6 you will see the hex screws that mount the armrest to the center console. You can see the frame(textured part of the frame)in picture 7. That's the holes for the small hex screws. The plastic piece to the left that the armrest mounts to has the bigger hex screws and the caps. The hole for the smaller hex screws is 5/16 inch. I need those caps to be the same as the other caps but in 5/16 inch. Can anyone help me find them? You can also email me at oliverrick@hotmail.com. Rick

I checked Mcmaster-Carr, and didn't see anything in that size.

I know others have colored the screw heads black, but I don't even notice them.

Thank you. I think I might try some black torque head screws. Just need to figure out what size the OEM screws are. That's my next option. Just saw that your in Mooresville NC. Earnhardt country! Lucky you.

I ditched those screws, and am using 3m double lock velcro pieces that I recessed into a riser plate that I made and covered in leather...
