All this minus the Steering Wheel are going to be Carbon Skinned this year.


...As well as literally EVERYTHING else not covered in Leather, from the Headliner to the Parcel Shelf down to the Seat Rail Covers

Is the veccy armrest a direct fit into the cup holder thingy?

[The 2nd Womble]

Ah. No, but it's not too hard with a Dremel and a Cutting Disc. Cue dodgy iPhone pics:





1)Cut the sides away on the Ashtray opening on the Astra tunnel to allow the Armrest Ashtray to slide in -2mmm each side.
2)Cut the top of the Tunnel above the Handbrake Gaitor bracket just enough to ensure that the Armrest doesnt hit at the base of the Inner Bin - 2mm across x around 20mm deep.
3)Trim the side Tabs off the Armrest where it was Glued into the Vectra, and chop the front of the base to just below the flush line where it sits over the Handbrake Gator.
4)Following this, tape off the lines across the front base of the Armrest so it will follow the contours needed to 'lock' it in place. As the Astra Tunnel falls away slightly across the top from one side to the other, the cut is a tad delicate but if you're boding and or covering it like me it doesn't need to be perfect.
Dremels rock!
You should be left with 4 contact points to be able to glue In my case Liquid Nails was tubed on where needed. I then fitted and pulled both pieces apart for 5 minutes to allow the glue to start going tacky, and then repositioned them and taped the combo off firmly.
It will be fully cured by next Sunday and will then be Glassed, blended and smoothed and ready for the CF.
I should have taken step by step pics as I did this, but when this one is finished I guess I can chop the current Tunnel up when it gets ripped out

Wow good pick up. Mind sharing your scrappy?

[faneca]

Ahk seems like a lot of technical work for it, I need to find one that fits straight in, plenty on eBay but they all look weird lol

[The 2nd Womble]

It took me 20 minutes to fit in between sips of Tea and playing fetch with the dogs.

Now that I have enough parts to get started on, sure. Theres nothing left that I really want apart from a couple of Wiring Looms
ABC Self Serve Wreckers in Wacol. About 9 Astras and 4 Vectras atm but they almost get 2 Astras in every week. We must be either Hoons or useless drivers lolz

Did any of them have electric windows? Id be willing to pay some one to pick up a couple of looms (left and right side) for a 5dr as they are hard to come by here

sorry for taking parts of the wiring loom out of the cdx you took that steering wheel out of.
