I've posted this on a couple other threads but have gotten enough comments that I thought I'd give it a separate thread to make it easier to find. I came up with a slick solution for replacing the stock ash tray with a cup holder that does not change the stock appearance. Here's a goofy video showing how I did it. There are a lot more details including part numbers etc. in my build thread here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2880139
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcXdb3c_r0 In my build thread, I also talk about an idea for a single or dual cup holder using a Subaru unit that would install something like this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-20845-1609730183.jpg) |

Great idea as we have been in need of one for awhile. Wouldn't the gear shift hit your cup in the center console one?

Great idea as we have been in need of one for awhile. Wouldn't the gear shift hit your cup in the center console one? That's just a crude mock up laying the holder where it would be if it were installed inside the center cushion. It doesn't interfere with the shift lever but it does make getting to the heater lever a little trick. There is a two-cup version of that holder that expands out sideways when open that would block the heater lever but you get two cup holders in exchange. Of course, you sure wouldn't want to open the storage bin with a full cup in the holder (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That option is too much of a mod for me because I like to keep all the mods I do invisible, non-destructive, and easily reversible. I thought it was an interesting possibility though. |
