Cup holder ideas??? - Page 2

Here is an option. I bought the Bell cup holders at Kragens, then bolted them together with a couple of aluminum straps. Stuck velcro to the bottom and stuck them to the carpet. They aren't stable by them selves, so I hoocked them together. My wife still holds the drinks around corners or under extreme acceleration!

Yes John, I must have forgotten. Can you post a picture please?

Nope. I don't do no stinkin' pictures. Translation- I don't know how to send them on clubcobra. Dan, email me at:aida_kerekes@msn.com and I'll send you a few pictures. I purchased one from an RV parts supply store. The link that "HENRIK" sent has some terriffic looking cup holders at excellent prices. We had talked about the diameter needed and the depth as well as the placement back far enough from the firewall so that you can get the cup into and out of the holder without hitting the bottom of the dash.

Most cup holders are the same diameter as a door hole cutter. Use that and file / sandpaper the edges smooth.

I put two holes in front of the gear shift and filled them with polished alumn. cup holders from a marine supply company.

may I suggest you get the removable, fold out cup holder from a Chevrolet SSR ( known as a GMT368 ).

You can put it just about anywhere, take it out if you need to and it folds up and out of the way when not in use.

You want photo of cup holders in the tran tunnel like Mike Brasfield mentioned? This is my FFR Mk3 so there's a diagonal 3/4" bar (front left to back right) that is between the holes. With careful measuring you can have the holes even - not staggered. Cup holders are from Rex Marine, many colors in several sizes. These are the biggest so foam inserts keep my cans cool & coffee hug hot.

(Let's see, DWRAT, if you are serious enough to do this or just hang a plastic holder somewhere.

NOW it looks just right

I don't have a cup holder because I do not allow any drinking, eating, smoking, complaining, crying, diving, fishing or swiming while riding in my Cobra! Sit down, strap in, shut up, and hold on!

If you want a cener consol with a cup holder, and a radio, drive a mini van!

I bought a cheap duel cup holder from Pepboys, it was designed for a tranny tunnel a little smaller then most Cobras, but with a little modification (ie dremel) it fits fine and can come out for shows or to be cleaned.

Now, don't chuckle til you go look.

Wal Mart has a rectangular black canvas, two sided cupholder and open pouch tray thing that has velcro for hold-downs.

When not in use, it folds nicely for stuffing behind the seat.

Take a look next time you have to go there with the wife.

I saw this - I like the look

- light
- stainless steel
- looks original
- not too expensive (I guess)

Don't know who did it - would like them myself

Looking for something that attachs to the car. I really like the one posted above that has 2 holder just infront of the shifter.
Not sure how I am going to drill two 3" holes in that area as my dash will be to low in that area, maybe I can get Don Morse to help me drill some holes.

I don't want no stinking cup holders.

I just purchased a simple (cheapo) two cup deal from the local auto parts store. I holds two cups, and a little space in the middle for the garage door opener, it's thin side plate just slips snuggly between the passenger seat and the tunnel.

What I usually do if I'm traveling a long way on a hot day is slide a very small cooler between the seats, back against the rear panel, install my cup holder and I'm set.

The majority of the time the cockpit is clean and original looking (no stinking cup holder)

Just want to add, Jay ( in Kingman) FFR Cobra has the best customer interior I've ever seen.
