Lotus Boy Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi all,What type fixings are used to attach the armrest to the sidescreen?Assume it is some sort of plastic/nylon bolt as per the current strap? Anyone have a link to what I would need?Also how many bolts are used to fix the armrest?ThanksDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrp Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi DavidYes three black plastic screws and a sort of socket on the inside, I would give Thundersport a ring I'm sure they can supply themRegardsMrp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Boy Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Thanks Mrp - Thundersport very obligingly popped some in the post next day.Second question - when fitting the escutcheons, should I use aluminium rivets or can I use steel. I understand why I use ali ones on the bodywork but these rivets won't be in contact with the ali skin. (You've guessed it, I have steel ones at home but no ali ones at present).Also, what length - will 0.47" (11mm) be enough or should I use longer bearing in mind it goes through the side skin, rubber, sill protector and chassis?Thanks,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrp Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Hi Lotus BoyTo be honest my side panels were so tight I just drilled the (fitted the armrest so the pin aligned with existing rivet) hole for the pin and gently tapped the plate in without rivets, its been like that for 4 years without problem.RegardsMrp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
