Evening all,
I’m after some help / advice with retro fitting a front centre arm rest to my year 2000 A6 Avant.
I’ve purchased the arm rest from E-bay but when I have tried to fit it in the car it looks like I need an additional bracket? The arm rest has a single, cast aluminium mounting post but this does not reach the car floor when offered up in the console or has a bolting feature inline to attach too? I’m guessing I need a ‘three legged’ type of bracket which will attach to the floor in 3-off places and hopefully fits onto the arm rest bracket via a single bolt and what looks like a ‘dove tail’ joint?
I realise I need to cut the plastic cover which sits where the arm rest would be but can anyone confirm I need an additional bracket? If so does anyone know the part number and where I might purchase one from outside of the dealer network?
If anyone has a photo or 2 of their installation with the rear compartment air vent panel and cig lighter removed I would appreciate it.
Cheers,
Mark. :beerchug:
