Awsome DIY, this method worked like a charm. Only thing i did different was screw the arm rest back in instead of using megapoxy. :thumbsup: to simonnowis

ok ill give that ago then ill post up some pics once i get it back on.
cheers:D
any luck?
yeah theres a couple ways with putting it back u can do the epoxy way, or screws and also can use cable ties, i will upload some pics tomoz:D
Im sure you can find megapoxy or similar at bunnings etc. Normally the thick 2 part adhesives are the strongest. on mine even when the adhesive eventually detached from the armrest it acted as a stopper and didnt budge at all. Washers and screws are a good but if someone is really rough with the arm rest theres a chance of it coming out or broken off.
If i was to do it again i would use screws+washer and some strong adhesive like liquid nails etc, in the end if u do want to take it off, unscrewing it would break it off from the adhesive anyway. (thats provided u didnt go crazy and apply glue all over the place lol)
i did the leather but it was a bit thick so got a wrinkle

guys need help getting the material :S
around West Sydney!!
nice work brother... easy to understand and good finish... where can i get this fabric (red suede) same as yours from and how long does it take to do all up...???
I bought it from an asian fabric store in cabbra on john st (I think?), but Iv seen a wide range of suede material at spotlight in that megacentre on parra rd, cant remember what kind of red they had but I was after black. Doesnt have to be exactly same, as long as the material isnt too thick it will turn out fine.
that's cool., i gonna do the same things
nice works, really...
but i still can't find any red suede in Melbourne... even lincraft, spot light can't find it..
any other fabric store i can go for ??
