rdickinson Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Does anyone have a pic of the rt side of the Volvo drivers seat without the upholstery. I'm looking at a different armrest and the supplier wants a pic so he can determine if their armrest has attachment points in the same area. www.sittab.se/products My arm is pointing at about 2 on the clock so the stock armrest provides no support when my hand rests on the roller trackball mouse next to the laptop Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIBERNUT Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 If it is a stock Volvo (National) seat, there is adjustment in the angle of the armrest. 2000 Volvo 635 A/S, N-14 Cummins"The Phoenix"'03 KA 38KSWB http://s918.photobucket.com/user/sibernut/library/?sort=6&page=1Furkids- Sibe's CH.

Jack Mayer Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Roger, I have never seen a seat in a Volvoo that did not have adjustable angles. Look for a little roller under the front of the armrest. You should be able to easily adjust angle with that. Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.

hdonlybob Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 My 2001 Volvo 610 armrests were adjustable as follows: Lift armrest all the way up. Put armrest all the way down and it will tilt downward. Now you can ratchet it upward SLOWLY and each time it will come up about one inch or so.... Good luck, Cheers, Bob 1989 Safari Serengeti 34'Towing a 1952 M38A1 Military Willys Past HDT owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 So we are talking about laterally or horizontally are we? So with my elbow tucked tite to my side, forearm horizontal, fingers pointing straight out in front of me. My forearm rotates to the right...kind of like an excavator rotating on its tracks?? Just want to be sure. This is adjustment in the horizontal plane I'm after. Part 2 of the question, is it worthwhile re upholstering stock seats?

Jack Mayer Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've never seen a seat with an arm that rotated horizontally (side-to-side).....only vertically (up/down).

hdonlybob Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 If I understand your question correctly, I am talking Horizontally... With your elbow on the back of the armrest, and your fingers on the front, you would pivot off of your elbow raising your fingers holding the arm rest ..It will click up each time you raise it a small amount and go from level with the floor to an angle pointing upward toward the ceiling..

rdickinson Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Vertical I knew about, it is horizontal I want. If someone has a pic of the right side of the seat without upholster, that would help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
