Default OEM armrest Accord 91 Sedan - Installation?

Hey,

I'm from Germany and I have now purchased an OEM armrest for my 91 Accord Sedan (CB).
Now I'm wondering how to get it installed. I guess it never was for sale in Germany.

Can anyone tell me or send me a screen of the mounting? I guess the back center console seems to be different in my accord. Great would be the part number of the center console I need plus installation items.

I checked on my EPC (german version) but it's not listed, neither as accessoir.

I looked for a long time trying to find one of these. Where did you get it, ebay? As for install, I think you're on your own to fabricate what you need. I don't even think these were available as accessories from Honda in 91. I'm sure you can get it to work though.
Let me know how it works out. I'd like to see finished pics.

Yes, ebay. 20 bucks plus shipping to Germany.
But I'm currently definitely not able to mount it because the rear part of the center console must be demounted to mount the armrest. And this cannot be....
Therefore I search for a kind of smaller console which allows the armrest to fit.

Maybe it works with console #14 which is showed in below picture, but if I check the mounting of the armrest there needs to be a special kind of console where the armrest fits.
My accord has the console #15 and whith this one it definitely not works. The size of the console at the bottom is the same size like the console, so it cannot just be mounted above it.

There must be some accords which have it installed in a correct way...?!

My E-brake cover seems to be a little smaller and may be what you need.

If you peel the carpet back, there should be holes predrilled for it. If not, Just drill your onwn. I did.

Can you post a picture of it please? I could not get access to this site. Maybe they barred it for international users. I was on it some months ago and they didn't sell/send to Germany anyway.

Thanks!

OK, this one definitely not fits. The front center console is also different and would need to be replaced too. That's too much effort and cost for my opinion.

So, if anyone needs an armrest in grey pls let me know.

Is it grey or tan? It looks tan.
Does it look like it would fit over the console in the last pic?
How wide is the opening that fits over the E-brake?
Any idea what shipping to US would be?

It looks like, yes. But I can't say 100%. The opering is 7,5cm.
No, it's definitely grey, not tan. There is one small crack in plastic casing on the lower side which is over metal frame but you won't see it and it doesn't matter. Overall condition is well.

Shipping to US would be 25 US$.
