Richard Cope Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 HI Does anyone have a photo of the bolt / screw that fastens the arm rest to the door for a 1939 Ply. Have been using a 1/4 /20 round head screw, however easy to come off, almost lost the arm rest. Thinking of taking a round carriage bolt and grinding down until it fits, seems that there should be a lock nut to hold the bolt in place? Does anyone know of a supplier that sells this bolt? Thanks in advance for your help Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 If i remember correctly the bolt has a flat head and the bolt screws into the door panel the arm rest is then pushed into the door panel and the bolt holes aligned up with the slots for the bolts in the arm rest and then you push downon the entire assembly to lock it into place. rich hartung desoto1939@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cope Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks Rich, I picked up some flat head and round carriage bolts, will cut them down to get a good fit and see which one works best. Have a feeling that the original bolts may not have been circular, will play around with different shapes. Want to be careful that they don't fit so tight that can't get them off.
