Cup Holder Options?

IMHO, it doesn’t get any better than these: https://www.deloreango.com/us/catalo.../?q=Cup+holder

Those look nice! Do you know what the diameter of the hole is. My wife and I use YETI cups (or their clones) all the time.

Approx 2 3/4 inches wide. A soda can fits in with a little room to spare, as does a 20 ounce soda bottle. When I’m not using the cup holders I have a small DMC bag that I place over them. This not only holds phone chargers, EZPass, garage door opener, etc, but also hides the cup holders.

Thanks,
Not sure if that is big enough for the insulted cups we use. I might make something out of stainless. That's one thing about this car is bare stainless looks appropriate.

So after viewing the other cup holder thread, I decided to try my own hand. I really liked the ones that fit in the original pocket between the seats. The only issue I saw was you can't reach back there easy. Also, I'm not sure if a "Yeti" cup will fit. (A must design criteria for my wife and I)

First thing to do was get out the "CAD" (cardboard aided design)





Next, transfer it into aluminum.



Put a bend in it. Actually did this multiple times to get the right bend.



It is held on by the two screws that hold the pocket. The problem was my screws were junky sheet metal screws that wouldn't hold something like this. So I put a couple nutzerts and 12-24 screws. Scotch brited the surface and Walla!



Yeti cup installed. It might appear to interfear with your arm, but it doesn't. The small amount that it moved the cups forward helps a lot in comfort.



Finally figured out how to post pics from my Supermoters account.

I posted this in another thread I started, but figured I should put a copy here.

The simplest solution tends to be the best. Noice!

And you don't smash your elbow into it shifting? Personally there is no way I could do this, maybe it is because my arms are long but I need room in order to shift and be comfortable.

Honestly, I haven't driven the car since installing it. (Im waiting for new fuel lines) If it's a problem, I'll post back.

Ditto. My elbow must bend like yours. I could not have the cups where my arm goes.

I just sat in the car and ran through the gears. It's not a problem. I find it's uncomfortable to have my elbow on top of the console. I'm 5'10" and with the seat at a nice location, my arm is going diagonal to the shifter. My shoulder is next to the cup holder, not over it. I guess a taller guy might have a problem.
