Armrest in Door

After noticing the armrest in the pic that TP13SS posted on another topic, I've done some research and found that armrests came standard in the NA1.6's.
Does anyone know if these will fit a NA8 without any modifications?
And, where can I find a set to purchase?

should fit easy but dunno if you need to maker holes for the 3 screws that go through them?

i find them rather useful too. not only can I put my phone in there but i do actually use them to rest my arm on since the window sill on the door is too high up.

usual places have them, MX5mania, MX5plus, mx5parts.co.uk

Nice phone :)
I've got one too, except I don't use it anymore. The battery's shagged and the slide is cracked on the side so when you push the button, the spring basically dislodges the cover from the rails :P

Back to regular programming...

The last of the NA8's had them too. My '96 came with them.
