    EBrake console T-cushion

    We're these things ever offered as OE? Or are they simply an aftermarket thing? Gotta admit they are a great idea and planning to get one from AL Knoch. Looked around a bit in the TMJG etc but can't find info regarding OE or not.

    Not OE...they've been available in the aftermarket for decades.

      Leif-
      how did you figure out what year car was involved, and what is a T-cushion?

        It does not matter the year; T-cushions were never OEM for any year model.

          Probably why I don't have a clue what a T-cushion is. Do you?

            Yes, it's a T-shaped cushion about 2-3 inches thick that rests on the rear of the center console to serve as a "comfortable armrest" or a seat for a "close friend". I think they're only applicable to 1967-82 Corvettes.

              This is a T-Cushion. As Joe said, it lies atop the parking brake console and the "T" part tucks in behind the two seat-backs.

              Kudos whomever came up with it. Very comfortable and just the right height on my right forearm when anticipating shifting.

                    One of those came with car when I purchased from previous owner. I resisted it for years, finally tried it. Got to admit I like it.

                      Indeed. It is a lost art to turn a corner.....brake, clutch, turn wheel, downshift...requiring the use of all four appendages...and not spill a drop!! ;-)
