    Looking for the plastic hinge cover for the folding arm rest for my Skylark bench seat.

    Someone needs to figure out how to 3D print these I think.

    Dano,
    They are a little more involved then that.

    I will look to see if I have one.

    Here are the pics of what I have for the 71-72 Bench seats.

    The brown plastic part is getting chalky. It is still usable but is not perfect. Included are pics of the other 4 plastic pieces that are used with the center armrest of a 71-72 car. I can probably find two of the small black plastic push pins for the center piece as well.

    I would sell all the pieces for $45.00 plus the ride, and I am outside the Phila. area.

    PS. I also have one of the center armrests, with the steel hinge assembly. Just in case you might need it.

    Just a thought on the 3D printing. Probably not a very high volume part(s) that’s worthy of tooling but one that’s needed by many/most w/a '71-2 bench seat/armrest car.

    I haven't really looked at my '71 seat but surely I could use them too. I had no idea there were 5 pieces involved. If you find the push pins, pls. post a pic of them too.

    The push pins for this are the same ones used to install the plastic shields under the front seat headrests.

    As far as the 71-72 big plastic hinge covers, the best pieces to find would be the black ones. They seem to hold up the best.

    The above parts are all I have.

    As far as fixing this, you might be able to get a piece of the correct color Madrid grain vinyl and glue/wrap it around the hinge cover. That would probably turn out nice, and was what I figured to do if I needed to use it.

    Also, the reason I said no to the 3-d printing is these parts all have the Madrid grain pattern in them. I have seen some of the 3-d printed pieces and the exterior surfaces of them have a heavy texture, which would look like crap in this application.

    Got it and will get you a total soon. I also found and added the two push pins for the center piece. They are a little shorter then the headrest pins.
    Thanks for the sale.

    Yes,
    I just got involved with too many things before my car/show trip.

    I have it all boxed up and got a shipping quote.

    I will get you that info once I get home tonight.
