Well...driving my Suburban...I have the luxury of captains chairs which incorporate a fold down arm rest.
My 89 Vitara doesn't have any such luxury....so I installed one.
Bought a 2000+ (I think) VW centre console and fitted it!
The original console...which has the storage pocket in the back...with a broken lid.
Drilled the original 'single' mounting screw hole out and added another...used 'Nutserts'.
Manufactured a new bracket. (Welded a piece of 5mm x 50mm flat to the original bracket).
Cut the bottom out of the console storage compartment and went crazy reinforcing with the hot glue gun.
Installed the base of the console but then realized the angle of the tube was wrong so needed to cut it off and re-weld it at the correct 'centred' angle.
Made a plate and 'insert' tube to slide into the base bracket.
Inserted the new console and locked it in place with the graub screw/nut I welded to the bracket.
Cut a hole in the original flap.
Voila!
Can be angled to wherever it's most comfortable.
