Drivers/pass door armrests ?

How were the optional drivers/pass armrest mounted on a 64 A100 ? My a100 does not have the fiber molded interior door panels. Also what mopar armrest will fit ?

With two screws in each arm rest.

OK I should have seen that coming. What I wanted to know, was are the any special clips or braces, or plates etc ???...with 2 screws

I don't recall seeing clips when iminstalled my nos armrests last summer.

I don't remember any clips either... Was there a plate on the back side?? O I'm getting old and can't remember diddly. I can look tonight.

OK, Thank You

Interesting, I have two holes so there had to be some kind of a inside backer, what came out I do not feel was original, anybody have a couple pictures of the correct parts?

MY 64 (without armrest) has two quarter size sheet metal plugs that fit into those large holes. That were inserted from the face side of door.

so there is a plate with clips to support the armrest.

That looks familiar.. Guess I just forgot there clips on the bracket. I'm pretty sure I changed mine out for a better set and I MIGHT have a few parts. I don't throw much away

Worst case.. it's easily made

Okay, an odd plate for nothing holds it in place, nothing appears to center it in the holes unless that was something on the arm rest, the bends in the plate must be for strength.

Might not be correct, but why couldn't a guy use a piece of wood if he did not have the metal plate ?

Wood would be easy, unfortunately it absorbs water and it does get wet in there, it would be like a sponge resting against the inside of your door. Piece of 1/8" x 2" strap painted would be a better choice.

I would still like confirmation that the plate in the picture is correct.

I'll check it out on my 64 tonight.. hopefully I have spares for rusty

I probably have a service manual that shows them as well I would think

That would be simple enough, Thanks for the idea.

Yes, the bent plate IS correct and is the mounting plate. The arm rest does "float" a bit until you tighten the screws up. That plate is correct for at least 1964-1967 without the plastic door panels.

Thanks,
