Arm rest for a S 10

Post by Ronald Heinzel »

I just want to say I ordered an arm rest from Don Blood for my S 10, I installed it today and it fits perfectly ! The workmanship is top notch, and it looks great. Don is easy to work with and packed and shipped it so it arrived without damage.
I highly recommend calling him if ever you need a pad for your steel.
Thanks Don it was a pleasure doing business with you.

Ron builds the best arm rest you can buy more than fair price.

Looks good Ron. I see you got a narrow pad. Since I spotted a double neck in front I wondered why you didn't go wider. I want to add a pad to mine but because I also have a double neck too I'm not sure of the best size.

I just wanted a pad to keep from having crab claws on this steel, I just looked at what my position was on the D10 and figured the narrow pad would work. It's perfect, and there is some adjustment to move it out some. That BMI plugs in from the back and I needed a flat plug and some room between the steel and the pad.
I'm completely satisfied !

Slight improvement

I have one also. I went to Lowes and got two knobs, that take the place of the allen cap screws used to mount it. Makes things a lot easier when you set up and tear down at least 3 times a week. thanks, Tommy.....

My only concern is after adding over $500.00 worth of chrome on my PSG. is what the clamping method will do do my new chrome on the legas.

It won't damage the surface on the legs. I've been using one for years. But, you could even wrap a piece of cloth around the two legs. Tommy.....

Is it a 2 part clamping method I assume?

Yes it is. I think you'll like it. I replaced the cap screws with knobs that I got at Lowes. Makes it easier on and off. Thanks, Tommy.....
