Sports Tourer Centre Console - ryoka - 19:th-Jan-2015 Hi folks, I'm new here, so I apologise in advance if this question is in the wrong section! I currently drive a '61 plate J Sports Tourer, of which I'm in the process of looking in to changing a few things with it. The biggest altercation I want to do is with the centre console - it has no arm rest! I've been on eBay and have seen you can purchase a retrofitted arm rest, however I must admit they aren't great. I've been looking around the internet as well as speaking to a few people and I have yet to come across a J manual handbrake with an armrest. The breakers on eBay are selling centre consoles with the armrest, only they aren't for the manuals. I would appreciate any input on this cheers! Sports Tourer Centre Console - tucpal - 19:th-Jan-2015 welcome looking on workshop Manuel there looks like there is one. i am sure rusty will confirm this. we also have a how to on removing it big job but worth it for the arm rest if there is one and you can find one. http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-How-to-remove-the-center-console-EPB-switch Sports Tourer Centre Console - Rusty2009 - 19:th-Jan-2015 Yes I have a movable arm rest in mine with manual handbrake. I'll have look later to see is I can locate one for you, what sort of covering do you want? Sports Tourer Centre Console - Tottybye - 26:th-Jan-2015 Me and [MENTION=22]Little King[/MENTION] both want one aswell. but likewise can only find electronic handbrake ones Sports Tourer Centre Console - Lewis6317 - 26:th-Jan-2015 Rusty didnt i give you this? when i brought my leather interior Sports Tourer Centre Console - tucpal - 26:th-Jan-2015 you will only find them on cars after 2013 and even then they were an option but they are out there somewhere Sports Tourer Centre Console - Rusty2009 - 26:th-Jan-2015 I think so mate, but it has no armrest on it as you had that. i want a LHD one to move the handbrake over as its too close to the seat. Tucpal when I ordered mine it was ment to have EPB but didn't I was told after I noticed no you have to spec EPB now. Sports Tourer Centre Console - tucpal - 26:th-Jan-2015 some time in 2012 it was made an option as there were a few problems with the older generation just not getting along with it and managing to press the clutch after they had applied it and in doing so relishing the hand brake i am sure cost cutting played apart also so it was dropped from prodution then the standard hand brake was put on the majority of cars in 2012 not long after this the hand brake option got a arm rest and the EPB became an option Sports Tourer Centre Console - WhelanUK - 26:th-Jan-2015 Mines a 14 plate and came with one.
