Vendor Idea - Cup Holder

[flatland]

These look like a great idea, and shouldn't be too involved. Of course i can't work on one right now.

Lightning hit our house 2 weeks ago. Sitting in recliner with my laptop and the charger cord lit me up! Knocked out about half the circuits, blew two receptacles out of the wall, ac, light bulbs, computers , battery charger, LAWN MOWER ( hooked up to trickle charger), welder, tv, washer, etc. At least nothing caught on fire.

So, couldn't the boot bezel ring be used as a template?

I will see what I can get made tomorrow.

Happy to pull bezel off mine and get any further measurements you need for compatibility with 208/241 bezel. Cup holders could go on back. Would work well for autos and easier for driver to grab drink, but could pose issue with manual trans.

I have a couple of improvements in mind.

I like the layout of using the tcase shifter with the cup holders “inboard”(towards the center of the tunnel) and at the rear (closer to the seat). My issue is that I don’t have a factory shifter so my measurements would be different but probably compatible to a 208 shifter size base.

I’ve been trying to find the diameter of a 20 oz Disani water bottle thinking that would be a “big” regular type bottle but I can’t find it.

go buy one, measure it and then drink it.

I usually reference off the larger Gatorade bottles. My memory says 3-1/2" to 3-3/4". You would probably be safe with 4".

You know the more conscientious thing to do would be to ditch the single use bottles and get a reusable bottle. Then you make the holder to suit.

And you wouldn't be drinking salt water from cocacola lol

Maybe I’ll just drive my wife’s Jeep, it has cup holders and doesn’t judge me….

Annalynn has some rubber ducks for you.

Are you getting a cup holder for your Suburban?

I've got a harbor freight magnetic one stuck to the jump seat frame thank you very much
I might buy one of those you posted for the green truck tho

Believe I got this from CK5GUY.com. Very well made and looks factory. Gives detailed instructions on how to cut out seat belt holders and ashtray.

If a stainless steel tumbler fits most other drinks will. Big Boss/Ozark Trail/Yeti/most generics are all the same size. I can measure if you want.

Unrelated, but just saw this on a truck just posted for sale on BaT. Interesting idea to do a cup holder and 2 gauges. Not attached to bezel, looks to be separate.

Clever. My girlfriend has a Chevelle. She doesn't want a dash mounted or steering column mounted tachometer. I bought this cup holder on Amazon. Came with two. It's got a lot of adjustability. Large suction cup sticks pretty good.

Center console tach, pretend is a SS

I won't be operational for a bit but will start building cup holders again along with other Chevy based goodies. I have some in mind like before and also a similar setup like these.

What would be sweet is cup holders on 1 side of bezel, and fire extinguisher mount on the other side. I need both
