Hi PaulI bet industry cannot react so quickly. I sure know that bae systems can’t. That would have been an 18 month lead time for bae
At least 30 meeting would have taken place plus 15 redesigns and 20 prototypes
Roll on the next idea

Geoff,How about a custom designed bracket for a widely available Audi centre arm rest!!
Tom. You are too easily led!Geoff,
You read my ind sir.
I mentioned earlier in this thread that I will be sending the CAD files for the A1 Armrest bracket to Cut-Tec to get a price, files not sent yet but it will happen.
This might well be another team event as I think Paul @depronman will need to adjust the top of the bracket file to allow fitting of the A6 C5 armrest that Graham @audifan has fitted. The A6 arrest looks good and will be available at a much lower cost than the A1 item. Due to the age of the A6 C5, most of us will probably find a mouldy one for pennies in a breakers yard. A bit of @A2Steve 's favourite cleaning agent, Elbow Grease, and it will look as good as new.
Give me a couple of weeks as work commitments do take precedence here but this is what I think my new venture will be.
Kind regards,
Tom

Mine arrived this morning, excellent work by all involved. Thing is, I have one spare now.
Alan,Mine has just arrived. Many thanks to Tom & Paul for all their work. Tom has pulled out all the stops with lots of confirm emails and photos of the item ready to dispatch and more to come! Must say that the final product is more sturdy than I was expecting. A solid bit of engineering
I am a bit confused that mine look different to others above! As expected the tape is already fixed. I was expecting it to be just at the sides. As you can see on mine below, I can see the tape.

That means the exposed tape in the slots is going to attract the dust and the A2 logo is half black and half see through. I will order the inserts from Paul unless someone tells me I got it all wrong!
PS Can I still use the inserts without removing the tape - I recall they go in from the front.
