Take the center tray and/or cushion out. Mount it between the seats where you can get at it in a hurry.

I like that one from "I am Chappy" I was kind of thinking about doing something like that too myself with some scrap alluminum from work...and it looks like you can still adjust your seat too if needed....sounds like a good project.

Here are some more angle shots of it for you guys to look at. And yes the seat adjuster is still usable.

Hey Chappy, Ever thought of making a few for sale? I'd buy one or two!

No way, i cut that out of a thick piece of U- channel with a jig and a hack saw.......
It was a piece left over from a handrail that i used for a staircase....

The CNC and waterjet guys are the ones that need to knock them out...

Do you have some dimensions? I'm thinking a angle piece of aluminum.

I usually buy it a nice dinner, then a few drinks, then maybe some dancing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif)

I find that if I take it nice and slow, it really is easy to accomplish... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/humpy.gif)

I honestly think I could make one, I have access to all the machines to do it...all I would need is some kind of material like alluminum to work with and than a fire extinguisher to use as a model piece. I made my license plate holder at work on my lunch breaks from a piece of scrap alluminum I found in the garbage. Eventually when I save up enough to buy an extinguisher I plan to make my own bracket, but it could be a while. If somebody wants to send me one to Japan here I would make one for you for free
