I tossed one of my bad armrests to the carpenter we have do some of our millwork down here and asked him to see what he
could come up with and I think he did pretty well! Its no big deal to a good cabinet maker but I was pleased with the product
and the price (400 pesos/ unit) or at todays exchange about 35$ Can. The wood is parota a locally sourced hardwood. Pretty close
job on the mounting holes as well so they hooked up ok and even got to keep the light.Saludo's.

I'll second that. I've been thinking of doing that since I bought the van, but I know the price would definitely be prohibitive here in BC. That's 'British Columbia' not 'Baja California'. :-D

Sorry Dan I just arrived in town with three pairs all spoken for but I'm coming back at the end of August so if you serious drop
me a line and I'll have Cristobal whip them up.
