Abstract: An elongated sleeve is provided and has a centrally apertured end wall secured over one end through which the shank portion of a headed and threaded fastener may be slidingly received. The other end of the sleeve is beveled sharply and includes a radial bore spaced slightly inwardly of the tip end thereof. The sleeve is snugly slidably receivable in the outer counterbore of a fastener receiving bore formed through one end of a vehicle door arm rest and is seated against the shoulder at the inner end of the counterbore. A first threaded fastener passes through the end wall of the sleeve and is threaded into the anchoring support for the arm rest and a second threaded fastener passes through the radial bore and is threaded into the body of the arm rest.
