Armrest in M20K?

[airbuspilot2436]

Anyone have a center armrest on their K? I asked my mechanic and he said he wasn't able to install one due to STC... Is that true?

My 1987 M20K 252 has one. Factory installed.

I believe they're standard with the fully articulating seats. But those seats were not standard in the early K's, they were extra. They became standard in the 252's and on. One way to get them would be finding some salvage fully articulating seats. They're used in all the longbody's as well.

Our 205 (1987) had it, and I really didn't like it. It's constantly in your way when reaching for the trim wheel. Admitted, I hardly ever use the electric trim at all

Would your mechanic have noticed if she had that armrest when you first presented her ?

My ‘86 K, s/n 25-1057 has it.  Ironically, I never use it.

 I have the 1980s front articulating seats in my C.  Didn't care for the armrest so when the interior was redone, the armrest was not installed.  Needs to be recovered.  All parts, $100.  Might have pics over the weekend. Picture before stripping the black leather.

Let’s see if @airbuspilot2436 is checking in...   ^^^^

The last known available arm rest may have just been discovered...  

See Mr. Lloyd’s post above...
