Armrests

I bought a new set of chromed plastic armrest backings that are too long for my 67. I'll measure them tomorrow and tell you what they are, and where I got them. I might need the 13" ones.

I believe the ones he needs are for 17" only which means 69-70 only.
The 71-2 versions are 12" so the ones from the 71 offered are 12" and will not work.

Here are the ones he has like this auction, included is the backing plates!

Billy,
Does your '70 already have backing plates that you are replacing? I installed a set in my '71 & found out the door operator mechanism will need to be changed if the car currently is without them. The rod that the handle attaches to is longer on the cars with the backing plates.
