    I ordered a set of the cheap 71-73 mustang armrest on eBay from mustang unlimited to replace my missing deluxe comet armrest. The cheap replacements I purchased are nicer than I thought. They came with the metal backing plate similar to the originals. The factory arm rest are nicer and more refined but these repros look like a good replacements and have the same grain as the originals. $29.98 ea with free shipping. Here's a couple side by side photos.
