[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] early Alpines with/without armrests.....????????

[Dan Gooding]

I agree with Mal.  I have them in my car and they are not in the way, look
quite nice and are original...so, why not use them.  You are lucky someone
along the way didn't lose them, too.  All the best, Dan Gooding, WV, USA

Hi Ray,don't hesitate to fit the arm rest they are great,and they work,as
suggested they are a means of closing the door,when the soft top is up,,good
luck Mal Clark.

Well, since you have not done your interior yet <<...i'm having my interior
redone completely...>>, why not just install them and see how they grab you?
Then decide whether to include them in the redo or not.

hello martin,

 

thanks for the comments............

I have no intention of throwing them away!!!   I was just wondering -
comfort wise - if I it would be more comfortable to leave them off..... They
haven't been installed on my car since I bought it, and I have no way of
knowing what the driving experience is like with them installed - that is
why I asked.

 

tks, ray

hi ray & all,
              if the car came to you with parts missing, i would understand
you having to make do with what you have. but i would never dream of
deliberately leaving bits off. i always use the armrests to pull the doors
shut,i am quite large,(17st) and they dont get in my way whilst driving.when
all is said and done it's your car so its your choice but i would urge you
not to throw them away.keep them with the car for sometime in the future.
alpine parts are like goldust and oneday someone might say oh no the
armrests are missing.
             best wishes, martin spurrell.

hello all,
 
in my boxes of bits and pieces i've come across some original armrests for
my '54 Alpine..........
since i'm having my interior redone completely, i need to decide what to do
with the armrests........
since i've had the car they have NOT been installed - just been sitting in
boxes.
i've seen restored Alpines both with, and without, the armrests.........
To me they look a bit cumbersome when installed - but i have no way of
knowing what they are like when installed........
 
so - all of you who have them - are they in the way/cumbersome?  should i
have them reinstalled (NO, my car is not an accurate restoration - for those
of you who do not remember, i am one of the people who has a Toyota 22R
engine and 5-speed in my car)..........
 
any thoughts?
 
tks, ray
