1967 armrest repo?

I wondered if the long front armrest are reproduced by anyone? If not what are people doing instead? thanks

 

If you mean the style below, the only repops I fond were at The Parts Place.

https://www.thepartsplaceinc.com/bu...Buick+Skylark/GS/Regal/GN&modelID=7&year=1966

Their part number. IN2314S

I bought a set. The mold was cast from a single mold of a "good" pad, and it has a small amount of deformity, but it is not too bad, considering no one else makes them and almost all "used" are going to be deformed from the age and weathering.

They are black, vinyl foam.

(the pic below is not mine, but I can get close up of them if you like)

 

I found some good used ones that I plan to dye/paint.

 

Thanks for the info..I should have been more clear as I need the bases also..Yes these are the kind I am in need of..Now hope someone makes the bases also

 

I may have to find some good used ones also..

 

As far as I know, the bases aren't reproduced. They can be refinished by vacuum metalizing. I had a set done and they came out great.

 

Thanks for the tip

 

There is a guy that is working on reproduction bases in aluminum.

They are not 100% identical as some of the details are difficult to reproduce using multiple set up and machine passes.

But, they are pretty good. (I'll see if I can find the links).

I also had a set "re-chromed", and they are very good looking.

The PTE (plastic) is almost impossible to repair by "welding" and I think some resin or other repairs can be made, but that can affect the "re-chroming" (vacuum metalizing), but would be fine for silver paint or matching paint to interior.

 

Let me look up the shop I used and I will let you know. I can't remember off hand.

 

Found the link of the aluminum base project.

The company I used was Chrome Tech USA.

 

I used them too turned out great that was 10 years ago

 

I had Chrome Tech do 6 bases for me 6 months ago and just sent them 4 more. They come back looking great!

 

Do the arm rests have the recess indentation all the way around like the originals?

Thanks

 

Here's a thread I posted pics on of the arm rest pads I got from The Parts Place.

Thanks, I see they do have the recess indention. I think I will buy a set and paint them red with a good vinyl paint.

 

64-67 arm rest bases are now reproduced. Also looks like a better quality arm rest pad is also now made.

I was going to have mine redone but now I think i'll try these, thanks for the lead!
