foster461 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 British Parts Northwest are a reputable company that sells quality stuff and will ship internationally. Not sure where this arm rest/console comes from but it just appeared in an email from them. Some storage and two power outlets. http://www.bpnorthwest.com/new-products/triumph-tr6/center-arm-rest-and-console-tr4-to-tr6.html Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Only problem with them is if your tall like me then its difficult to get to the handbrake as your sitting back further and the top front of the rest is in the way. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 hmm as far as i can see from the pictures, it would fit my Herald estate too, more comfort during driving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dykins Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Like the idea, but not too sure how it would look in a 4 (where the handbrake is not on the transmission tunnel) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianhoward Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Peter You could always fit a fake shiney chrome one!!! Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richphoto Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I am not sure why they designed this so boxy and not like the curved edges of say the dash pads. not much to them. Anyone have a photo of the Acme aftermarket ones made in the 60's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanT Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Come on chaps! This has got to be a thing anyone can make to suit themselves. Only wants some ply-wood, some padding a bit bit of Vinyl. I made the corners of my dashboardl and the centre bit for the switches. https://www.flickr.com/gp/90670218@N04/7h8ci8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mike3739 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Chaps just found where i got my idea from http://www.tr6.danielsonfamily.org/CenterConsole.htm hope this will help adapt to suit your requirements!! Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pfenlon Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I cobbled up my own on the last TR250 I built, it was a bit Heath Robinson, with a merc armrest I cut in half narrowed and then recovered. but it was prettier than the one shown at $199 mine cost about £10.

mike3739 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi Pete Have to say it looks really good for £10, well done. Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnny250 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Crash pads should be easily carved from blue foam (Sheffield Insulation country wide) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobinTR6 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Peter, can you recall which Merc you got the console from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foster461 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Also here is the Clark http://www.clarkandclarkinc.com/1205_centerconsole_tri.htm Well that answers the question of where BPNW got their product from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richphoto Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Also if anyone is interested in some NOS Amco windwings in the original box, there is a set posted on Ebay USA, I really want them but can't afford that right now. Nice option to have though. Have any of you had Windwings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark V Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Spotted this in a marshalls car at SPA classic recently, He purchased it from a German TR supplier in Koln. http://blob:https%3A//www.flickr.com/b1a20177-165e-4c5a-ac37-f3649486bcc1 Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
