On the Challenger there is a metal cup (if you will) that fits down in the armrest. Screws go thru it into door

Mark is correct and applies to the cuda as well. But there is also an armrest/pad bracket that mounts there also. I will take a pic and post it.

Here is a couple pics.

And just to add, there is plastic cups made as well.





Hope that helps.

Two pieces.

Oh,
Beware. There is one on ebay that is claiming to be 70 thru 74 but it has four square corners. That is not correct. You want the ones that have two squared corners and two rounded corners.

Also, if you find two that are for one side, you can drill a hole  in the right location for the lock rod that protrudes the cup. I had to do this myself and looks pretty good. And it really can't be noticed unless it's a show/judged car maybe.
But there is a difference in the right side and left side. Just so you know.
