Version 3 is getting a little closer
So I’m currently getting to a shape I like after quiet a few alterations and I think it’s definitely starting to look more e30, the points I’d like to address are the lines marked in red, I’m thinking of raising this lip about 2-3cm so it’s a more useful storage area as right now it’s pretty much just big enough to hold your phone and wallet. The curve on the inside is off and one of the reasons I needed a Prototype so I could adjust for the curve, in the rear I want to make it come out further back so it’s more to the shape of the original armrest and after looking at the original armrest width I realises I could add some more width so it’s more comfortable!
The mounting height however is perfect and sits exactly the same as the original which I am happy about. This is not a finished part and not “dressed up” as it would be in its final form but Im definitely happy that it’s getting there and since it’s a custom personal project im okay with it taking a while 🤣
