[FC] Floppy Arm Rests

[Jim Forgey]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys,

I do have an assembly manual and will check it out - also will look at the hardware recommended.

Another question regarding PG shift cable - my Lakewood has a leaky cable - not uncommon I know - Corvair Basics mentions a shrink wrap repair kit for this issue - does anyone know if this is still available, which vendor sells it,  and if it is an effective sollution? Is this an item available at my local FLAPS??

Any leads greatly appreciated.

Jim
