If your talking about the plastic part that is screwed to the door panel then yes they can be repaired if their not to far gone. You'll need to plastic weld them. I had my original ones looked at by the restoration shop that did my seats. They said they were not really repairable because they were broken at the mounting points. I obtained another set from Jason. They still had to do some minor plastic welding on the inside but it was a preventative repair to stop any further damage. They also painted them and they are fantastic now.
I don't believe epoxy will work in this situation but others may have had success in repairing them with that. I know I had to repair my windshield washer jug by welding it with a soldering gun and used strips of milk jug for filler. I tried four different epoxies and they all ended up leaking.

Thanks clovis. The wasber juv is different material. It iz softer. I think tbe armrest is made of ABS.

Then it may be repairable with abs primer, solvent and glue. It's worth a try in a hidden spot.

It looks like that i am going to answer my own question about this.With some help from Tony. I glued the parts together with Hard PVC glue from Bison. It made a very strong connection. I am Happy with it.

Thanks. It is a great site to share your experiences with repairs or whatever. I hope someone can use this to do repairs on his armrest. I think that the most armrests are broken.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
Vintage Air AC

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
