    Mine doesn't have one,I'm sure someone in the past removed it. I don't mis it and think it would proubly be in the way.
    Anyone else have input on this.

    I remember using it quite a bit. I hear they are from an old packard automobile but I've been unable to find a source for that.

    I would not be without my armrest. Using it is not a conscious process, but I have noticed that mine has a permanent depression where my elbow rests. During cruise, I am a "hand on the top of the yoke" guy, and having the armrest is really nice.

    I use mine all the time. Like Mark says, it's not really a conscious process but I do use it.

    Mine was missing from my Pacer.I really missed it on cross countries and found one in my stash of parts. With the stock yokes it is in the perfect place but with modified yokes not always so. Not sure of a source other than out of a wreck. I will see if I have another one stashed away.

    61Chuck,
    It looks like bob has some similar but not quite the same style.

    Steve, if you can find one that would be awesome! As long as you don't want my left arm for it I'll buy from you.

    Well if you gave up the left arm you wouldn't need it.
