If you don't care about originality, you can get a generic arm rest/console
from J.C. Whitney in black or gray for around $40.00 that fits a TR6 very
nicely. Several guys in our local club bought them after seeing mine. The
original Amco units haven't been available for many years and command hefty
prices at swap meets. I did meet a guy at TRA two years ago who talked
about making them for around $300.
