Theres a few different ones on ebay.. Cheapy ones such as this

Looks good! can you choose where you want to mount it? as i would like it a little further back seeing as it has a slidable top

IIRC From past posts, there is no adjustment, so the only downside is the handbrake being a little fiddley.

I believe that some peeps who had/have them leave the car in gear after parking up ..... remembering to check Neutral when starting, or clutch and brake on

No you can't adjust where they sit, well not with the kit got.

Kev your right the Hb is a bit fiddley but with my ape arms I just reached over and down when needed, our Gail would fold it out of the way.

Rob they attach with a bracket that mounts to the HB surround screws then there are a couple of self tappers too the rest then bolts to the bracket, IIRC

I love my armrest

It's a bit awkward but I only use handbrake when parked. It's probably my favourite mod

So could you just mount the armrest bracket further back or is yours as far back a you can get it on the hand brake surround?

Yeah you just lift the armrest up when you want to put the handbrake on... It's not too much of a problem

just got a cowel at the bottom around the HB cover and self tapping screws through then.
Am half tempted to get one, is it just a rest or does it open for storage.

There is storage Steve. I have my sunglasses in there.

I love every mod on my car but this is my favourite. Every single journey I use it and enjoy it.
