On it's way - Wahoo!!

TRAKKA fitted armrests to the front seats of Dietrich the Green T4.

Who did the removal? C

Me. It was pretty straightforward, lever up the plastic cover over the hinge, unscrew the retaining bolt that takes the weird VW special fitting (sort of like an Allen key but different). If you want to have a look sometime send me a PM for location & contact details. I live in Tuggeranong.

Hey thanks for that!
We did a 600km run yesterday (pulic holiday here in Canb) up hill and down dale through the snowy Mountains - great drive with a good mix of loads and revs. The plan is to get up over the 1000k mark before starting the long tow. Unfortunately we didn't get the trip computer - with the delivery time critical it was a case of "grab what we could" so no options. I would also have liked arm-rests - can they be retro-fitted?

C

Yes arm rests can be fitted after purchase. A company here in Ferntree Gully Vic, near Burwin VW fits such accessories. They installed my rear velour trim lining, rear step to a H-R hitch and a second row of bucket seats with, quick release, individual seat belts and child seat anchor points. They're called Veh Quip, tel 03 9758 7276, fax 03 9758 4011. In their brochure they just refer to them as armrests.

Thanks Guys, this is great. After the trip, I will chase down some arm rests, probably from Trakka as they are a little closer than Victoria .

On a slightly different subject, what do you lot think about nudge/bull bars. I need to fit up some driving lights, and I just cannot bring myself to drill a hole in the roof for the UHF antenna - a decent bar might fit the bill.

Again from Veh-quip I fitted a small black bullbar/nudge bar and attached a CB antenna, more for judging the distance in front than actual cb use. I have the painted bumper option and this provides more protection and still allows the factory driving lights to shine un-impeded. The chrome bars I saw didin't cover enough of the front at the time but probably looked better....I might get round to taking some photos after the next wash.
