Craig:   There isnt a lot of room between the front seats in the L-IV..
About 3 inches if I remember right. Anyway, there just wasnt enought room
for two armrests so I just installed one.   When I had my  seats
upholstered, I visited our friendly wrecking yard and found an armrest out
of a van that had the size and shape I wanted.  Then I had it welded on to
the left side of the copilots seat so that it lives above the emergency
hydraulic pump handle and then rotates up between the seats when not in use.
In the 50 hours we flew our machine, I found that I used it mostly to rest
my throttle hand.  The copilot didnt seem to use it at all(maybe I was just
bigger).  I certainly recommend one, tho.  Bill Hogarty
