 Here are the armrest photos you asked for  As you can see, the seats have
been removed while the A/C is in paint although I have tried to show the seat
spacing as it is in the plane.
 
 1.  Front view both seats withn AR  down.
 2.  Front view both seats with A/R up (stowed)
 3.  A/R closeup - front (stowed)
 4.  A/R closeup - sideview (down)
 
 The armrest is 15 in long, 3 1/4 in wide, 5 in high at rear, tapering to 3.5
in high at front.  The armrest is fairly substantial;  having been removed
from a large van.   It was  welded to the copilots  seat frame before the
 upholstry  was added.
 
FYI, the front of the seats have about 6 inch spacing  before the plane of the
T-shaped instrument panel while the armrest in
 its down position  has about  7 inches to the edge of the seats.
 
 My idea is to have a piece of substantial aluminum cut to fit the footprint
of the A/R bottom with a short extension in front to mount your PC mount.  The
aluminum piece could be attached with a couple of wide Ty-wraps.  It would be
nice if the mount has a 90 degree swivel so that the armrest could be stowed
with the tablet PC between the seats.
 
 I will be traveling for the next week but hope to have your comments when I
return.  Appreciate your help.

 P.S. to LML - This is my best shot at a tablet mount for a L-IV.  If anyone
has a better idea, it would sure be appreciated.
