I just thought I would drop a quick note to see if there was any interest in a two gauge plate that fits in the same location as the ashtray. This unit is adjustable and mounts with the existing ashtray hardware. I made a few for friends and thought I might start offering them to anyone interested.
This unit is 16 gauge steel and would be painted with either crinkle finish black paint or a hammered finish black paint. I could also make available in raw steel and without the bend to keep shipping cost down. Anyone with a vice could bend it when it arrived. What would you say is a fair price? Thanks in advance for your feedback. Attached image(s)

The best cupholder I've seen is made by taking a hole saw to your existing ashtray. Add two straps with pop rivets to fit and then you have a great cupholder for little to nothing. It also slides out of the way when you aren't using it. I have another cup holder idea for larger cups, but this is a few months away and is mounted lower in the car.
I am familiar with the VDO gauge plate that is available, but it does not fit perfectly and will need modification for the ashtray location. As a matter of fact, I bought one on Ebay for $2! As listed in my first post. These are not yet available and I have not yet priced them. THIS THREAD IS TO GAUGE INTEREST ONLY AND RIGHT NOW THERE IS LITTLE TO NO INTEREST! |
