What would be a good and easy aftermarket armrest for a openback with 40 brackets? Thanks Logan

One like this might work. They fit a variety of bracket configurations.

If you are not looking for a metal armrest than the Little Mountain armrest sold by Gold Tone, Banjoteacher.com, and Elderly will do as the mounting posts adjust for spacing. They are made of both wood or Corian with metal mounting posts.

Balsam Banjo Works sells one that is similar:

Zach Hoyt sells a Romero style for a great price:

You might also be able to use one of the wire style armrests that Bob Smakula sells. They adjust to fit a lot of bracket spacings.
