    1968 Armrests

    I have started collecting photos of armrests for the 68 with a view to having mine recovered. There seem to be many variations on the process, with the effects of history changing things somewhat. Any photos of original ones would be appreciated. I am particularly interested in the shaping, folding or stitching of the vinyl over the armrest frame.

    Good man. Perfect guide. I think mine are 67s as they have stitching horizontally along the arm rest. Or mave have been recovered in accurately. More likely. Are there any recover skins around?

    Bump on this if I may. Are there any suitable armrest re-trim kits available?

    will send you some of mine which I believe to be original Merv.

    I looks like you have different material on the different doors?

    here we go - my row 1968 911L RHD - I believe this to be the original material.

    My car was built mid to late 1967, and was delivered just before new year 1968.

    Cool

    thanks Chuck - I've never had such enthusiastic reaction to my door trims before.

    I'll appreciate them even more now!
