The brackets are secured with the transmission tunnel seatbelt anchor bolts in 1988-1993 240s. In the earlier models, the seatbelt latches are in the console and these bolts are used for the armrest alone, if fitted. In your model the armrest brackets fit under the seatbelt anchors.

No they came in all of the models, but are pretty rare. Especially with the cupholder pullout. Those alone go for like 75-100 dollars on eBay.

that looks exactly same as the one in the rear seat on 264 models - well except the swing bracket would be different

might just take a look

so it sits up high enough to get to hand brake?

No. If you want the hand brake you just flip it up. It's very easy to move up and down.

Nope. Just get the right socket and a good ratchet wrench and unscrew 'em.

If I remember correctly, you'll need a 17 mm socket.
