Not wanting to start yet another cup holder thread, but I'm going to . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
This cup holder was mentioned in another thread here recently. It fits in to the ashtray location on older VW. Well seems there is a bunch of different sizes depending on what type VW you have. I emailed them asking for dimenstion info on the part that slides into the ashtray mount but of course I haven't heard anything back. The 914 ashtray is 3 3/4 across so If I could ask you to help a fellow 914er out and measure your VW ashtray, please. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) I know I know, I have used the roll of duct tape, the wedge type cup holder but this looks perfect for the wife & I when we take the 914 out for the long drives / trips. I'm not worried about it being in the way of vent controls, I haven't tuched mine since I got the car 3 years ago other than to turn the fresh air fan on once or twice. Attached image(s)

I'm going to continue to veer off topic here...I've seen your avatar before thats really cool. I used to have a '71. There used to be an old car game for playstation that had a cheat code so you could drive a fastback. Pretty cool.... and now back on topic: itsa914 let me know if you need me to "phone home" and get a measurement for you. I would be happy to do it. |
