I am editing the 1st post in this thread to act as a data base for future researchers on this topic. At the bottom of this post is the thread as it developed.

The thread... I like my coffee and I can rub my belly and pat my head at the same time so shifting and grabbing for my Joe is a no brainer to get my caffeine fix. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) I am kind of tall (6'2") so the stock armrest serves no real purpose for me and I am looking into alternatives. I have been searching ebay for used armrests / center consoles with built in or pop out cup holders. I think that the pop out type might get too close to my shifting area (although I do have a short shifter installed.) This pic is one from a Pontiac Bonneville. Looks kind-of fat. I know that dimensions are key here. i.e. the cup holders conflicting with the heater control switch throw and the shift pattern. I did try searching threads and didn't have much luck. What have you guys had luck with? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Any advice is appreciated. Attached image(s)

I fabed a simple cup holder from two PVC plubling parts. The base is pretty heavy and hasn't tiped over yet.

How ingenious to see that for what it could be whilst strolling through the plumbing section. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I also noticed your custom tunnel cover with heater lever slit. That is sharp! Good Job! |
