Help with 1968 e-type arm rests

[Wiggles (Paul Wigton)]

IIRC, that is the same armrest used in TR7s.

I think you are correct and also a few others…Steve

They are on my '67. So they deleted them for a couple years ? I know the 62,63’s didn;t have them. But I believe my old 64 did.

My 69 OTS never had them - but I suspect the deletion may have been more complex than a specific point in time - possibly somewhat arbitrary?

@D_Barnes

since the US government says they were dangerous in 1968.

Which is why I sought out a '66.

My 68 OTS did not have arm rests but interestingly when I removed the door panels for some interior door work there were the mountings with captured nuts for the arm rests to be installed.

I’m not real keen on the lower door grab, and in talking with John Skinner, this was an option, so I went for it. I like arm rests when I’m driving…and they look great!
