The center console is one of the worst-designed parts of my '80.

Yup, the manufacturers should make them a little longer in front. Are you listening MidAmerica and Ecklers?

I bought one from Al Knoch, I'm not sure about the extra 2 inches. You could ask though, it would be nice to have it.

E-Bay, search Corvette Arm Rest. These are about $40.00 was a perfect match for my interior, larger size compared to stock but not sure how much bigger

what type of material are you looking for? I made my own a few years ago from some vinyl I had laying around. I also made mine a little taller with a layer of lexan sandwiched between two layers of foam. This keeps my elbow from ever punching thru to crack the parking brake cover.
